Love Illuminated: Exploring Life's Most Mystifying Subject (with the Help of 50,000 Strangers)
by Daniel JonesFrom the editor of the New York Times' popular "Modern Love" column, the story of love from beginning to end (or not).Love. We want it. We need it. We pay it homage with songs and poems and great works of art. And when we lose it, there's no pain as intense or excruciating. For centuries we've been trying to figure it out, control it, or just get better at it. As the editor of a column about love for the New York Times, Daniel Jones reads thousands of stories about people's intimate relationships—the ones that soar, crash, or hum along, from the bizarre to the supposedly “normal.” It's possible that he's read more true love stories than anyone on earth. In Love Illuminated, he teases apart this mystifying emotion that thrills, crushes, and sustains.Drawing from the 50,000 stories that have crossed his desk over the past decade, Jones explores ten aspects of love—pursuit, destiny, vulnerability, connection, trust, practicality, monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom—and creates a lively, funny and enlightening journey through this universal human experience that jangles the head and stirs the heart.

Love In Strange Places
by Anonymous BroadlitWhat is the perfect place to find true love? Most likely it's not a question you've pondered, and yet you probably do have a pretty clear idea of the scenario. You'll meet your man in a gorgeously romantic setting while you're looking your best and feeling on top of your game. Certainly you don't think of finding true love in your kitchen at the end of a terrible day at work, or when you're a passenger in a semi-truck being driven by a handsome stud -- and you're vomiting because you're pregnant with another man's baby! And yet, IT happens. You can stumble into true love in the most decidedly unromantic places and under some pretty shocking conditions - as you are about to discover through the stories in this collection.True love - thank goodness! -- has also been found when you decide to literally escape from a twisted "love" -- such as a stalker's crazed obsession or a father's incestuous possession. The genuine love these women eventually found was all the more glorious when juxtaposed against the terror of their past. Then there's the failure of merely good-enough love, which can lead you to despair of ever finding true love. To protect your fragile heart, you might play mind games by telling yourself that you don't care about true love or that you aren't looking for it or that you don't need it to be happy. You will read stories here, however, where that ruse eventually just didn't hold up in the face of a beckoning true love. Ultimately you have to risk shedding your defenses - and the disappointments of your romantic past - in order to slip into true love.So if you enjoy asking couples, "How did you two meet?" be prepared for a wild ride of answers to that question in these stories. Spoiler Alert: True love is going to find you no matter how down and dirty you look or feel about yourself, how unglamorous the setting, how traumatic your past or present is. True love, as it turns out, writes a new story for every couple.

Love In The Western World
by Montgomery Belgion Denis RougemontIn this classic work, often described as "The History of the Rise, Decline, and Fall of the Love Affair," Denis de Rougemont explores the psychology of love from the legend of Tristan and Isolde to Hollywood. At the heart of his ever-relevant inquiry is the inescapable conflict in the West between marriage and passion--the first associated with social and religious responsiblity and the second with anarchic, unappeasable love as celebrated by the troubadours of medieval Provence. These early poets, according to de Rougemont, spoke the words of an Eros-centered theology, and it was through this "heresy" that a European vocabulary of mysticism flourished and that Western literature took on a new direction. <p><p> Bringing together historical, religious, philosophical, and cultural dimensions, the author traces the evolution of Western romantic love from its literary beginnings as an awe-inspiring secret to its commercialization in the cinema. He seeks to restore the myth of love to its original integrity and concludes with a philosophical perspective on modern marriage.
