The Course of Love
Author: Alain de Botton
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501134434
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
“An engrossing tale [that] provides plenty of food for thought” (People, Best New Books pick), this playful, wise, and profoundly moving second novel from the internationally bestselling author of How Proust Can Change Your Life tracks the beautifully complicated arc of a romantic partnership. We all know the headiness and excitement of the early days of love. But what comes after? In Edinburgh, a couple, Rabih and Kirsten, fall in love. They get married, they have children—but no long-term relationship is as simple as “happily ever after.” The Course of Love explores what happens after the birth of love, what it takes to maintain, and what happens to our original ideals under the pressures of an average existence. We see, along with Rabih and Kirsten, the first flush of infatuation, the effortlessness of falling into romantic love, and the course of life thereafter. Interwoven with their story and its challenges is an overlay of philosophy—an annotation and a guide to what we are reading. As The New York Times says, “The Course of Love is a return to the form that made Mr. de Botton’s name in the mid-1990s….love is the subject best suited to his obsessive aphorizing, and in this novel he again shows off his ability to pin our hopes, methods, and insecurities to the page.” This is a Romantic novel in the true sense, one interested in exploring how love can survive and thrive in the long term. The result is a sensory experience—fictional, philosophical, psychological—that urges us to identify deeply with these characters and to reflect on his and her own experiences in love. Fresh, visceral, and utterly compelling, The Course of Love is a provocative and life-affirming novel for everyone who believes in love. “There’s no writer alive like de Botton, and his latest ambitious undertaking is as enlightening and humanizing as his previous works” (Chicago Tribune).

Work Won't Love You Back
Author: Sarah Jaffe
Publisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568589387
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.

DON'T READ! YOU WILL UNLOCK THE SECRETS TO FINDING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & LIFELONG HAPPINESS Let's make one thing clear: Yes, I am a 22-year-old male virgin, by choice, who is proud of his decision. Why? Good question. Stick around, because that's what I'll be talking about in this book. As a student athlete in college, surrounded by beautiful women at a public university in the liberal state of California, it was nearly impossible.

Wondering why you haven't found true love yet or if something's wrong with you? Tired of failed relationships: Getting cheated on, used, lied to, or reduced to a sex object? Haunted by your past and left wondering if you'll ever be satisfied and find peace or happiness? Feeling empty, lacking purpose in a relationship or life, and asking if love is even real? looking for the shameless, naked truth about love, sex, and your worth? In a world where money-thirsty "gurus" bombard you with unrealistic, destructive illusions of romance and intimacy, a generation is starving to know the shameless, naked truth about love, sex, and their own worth. Young people are drowning in misinformation and misunderstanding with nobody to help them. Until now. It's time to expose the liberating truth. You have a choice: Either take my hand and walk with me in this transformative journey, or stay bitter, lost, and restless. Will you take a risk with me?
