The Course of Love by Alain de Botton


This book is a delight. Alain de Botton has beautifully laid down the anatomy of this pure emotion. One of the few books that encapsulates what goes on in minds of a man and woman in love at every stage of their life together. The chapter on parenthood and the different stages of love gave me a profound understanding of phases that I havent experienced myself yet. At that time, I felt like this is the bit that parent should read. There is a chapter on Kirsten's mother on her deathbed. Thats a chapter every person who has lost a loved one, or is aware of we are going to lose our loved ones one day or the other should read.  This book is for every person who  believes that they will have a perfect relationship and that their love is like no other. The book dissects love and marriage so well, it should be made compulsory for couples preparing to say " I do" and for couples who wonder why isnt their marriage/ relationship perfect. Its a "how to" manual on relationships. Get your copy!
