A review by fassinated
The Course of Love by Alain de Botton

4.0

An almost-perfect love and relationship manual. Oh, but if only life goes according to a written guidebook.

Wonderfully insightful and introspective of, well, the course of love, that I see myself coming back to these pages from time to time – after a fight, a heartbreak, an unwelcome flashback to the parents' divorce.

Alain de Botton's words are rational and assuring; they help decipher the confusing states of our own emotional conditions during various stages of a relationship. This book is useful for anybody – I mean anybody – who's capable of love.
