Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person: A pessimist’s guide to marriage, offering insight, practical advice, and consolation. (Essay Books) [The School of Life, de Botton, Alain] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person: A pessimist’s guide to marriage, offering insight, practical advice, and consolation. (Essay Books) Review: Light and insightful essays - This is more an essay then a full length book. However, it tried to convey a healthy style of love, one that is much for practical and long lasting, than the exciting, passionate love depicted in movies and novels. It has a clear theme and did not overstay its welcome, and is an easy and interesting read. Review: Scary Title But Useful Read - I love the School of Life series, and this one is particularly good. The title is scary, but the basic message is positive. It encourages people to choose partners for psychologically relevant reasons, not just blind, vague infatuation, or cold, calculating pragmatism. Definitely a good read for anybody who hasn't screwed up their life yet.

Light and insightful essays
This is more an essay then a full length book. However, it tried to convey a healthy style of love, one that is much for practical and long lasting, than the exciting, passionate love depicted in movies and novels. It has a clear theme and did not overstay its welcome, and is an easy and interesting read.

Scary Title But Useful Read
I love the School of Life series, and this one is particularly good. The title is scary, but the basic message is positive. It encourages people to choose partners for psychologically relevant reasons, not just blind, vague infatuation, or cold, calculating pragmatism. Definitely a good read for anybody who hasn't screwed up their life yet.

Refreshingly educational on a crucial subject
Just like good finances, covers a subject society offers very little education on but exerts great impact on our life.

This should be mandatory reading
This is an exquisitely well written essay on marriage and the struggles of marriage. A greatly enjoyable book both in terms of the arguments being made, as well as the beauty of the prose.

Welp
I mean... this book had me locked in until it said: "The adulterer has to be ready to honour and forgive the partner's extreme capacity for jealousy, and so must, as far as is possible, resist the urge to have sex with other people, must take every possible measure to prevent it from being known if they do, and must respond with extraordinary kindness and patience if the truth does ever emerge."

Le contenu du bouquin est très similaire à celui de "Relationships" du même éditeur. J'ai été assez sur ma fin. Je recommande si c'est votre seul achat ^^ !

Es un libro muy breve, divertido y que va al grano. Lo recomiendo en general si estás empezando con una pareja y te planteas dar un paso para ir más en serio.

Doom and gloom about marriage. Some good ideas but AI can help better.
