'One of this summer's most buzzed about books (and one that might just change your life)' Sunday Times
After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?
In Conversations on Love she began to find the answers:
Philippa Perry on falling in love slowly
Dolly Alderton on vulnerability
Stephen Grosz on accepting change
Candice Carty-Williams on friendship
Lisa Taddeo on the loneliness of loss
Diana Evans on parenthood
Emily Nagoski on the science of sex
Alain de Botton on the psychology of being alone
Esther Perel on unrealistic expectations
Roxane Gay on redefining romance
and many more...
'A gorgeous, richly layered book about all forms of love. You can pick it up and turn to any page - literally any - and find a gem to soothe and fortify your soul' Pandora Sykes, Sunday Times bestselling author of 'How Do We Know We're Doing It Right?'
'Hopeful and uplifting... this deep dive into the human heart will expand and enrich your perspective on love' Evening Standard
'This eclectic and heartwarming collection explores love in all its forms, from romantic and parental love to friendship and loss'Observer
'Conversations on Love is a glorious celebration of human vulnerability and connection. It has made me laugh, shed tears, think deeply. I want every person I love to read this book' Dr Kathryn Mannix, Sunday Times bestselling author of WITH THE END IN MIND
Buchinformationen
Beiträge
die erste hälfte des buchs habe ich mich etwas schwer getan und brauchte lange für die kapitel und habe auch lesepausen eingelegt. zum ende hin hat es mich aber total inspiriert und die „meanings of life“ nahe gebracht. meine learnings: hope/uncertainty (inner belief) is what makes love beautiful & pay attention to the love you have around you right now (small things)!
3.75 ⭐️ Natasha Lunn’s Conversations on Love is one of those books that doesn’t necessarily tell you things you’ve never heard before, but it does help you hear them differently. It is part memoir, part collection of interviews, and part philosophical musing on the many layers of love: romantic, familial, platonic, and the often overlooked love of simply being human alongside other humans. Some of the conversations are genuinely insightful (I especially loved the parts with Dolly Alderton, Alain de Botton and Esther Perel)! What I appreciated most is that Lunn doesn’t sugarcoat the topic. She talks about love not as this grand, effortless thing, but as something that requires vulnerability, patience, and sometimes real grief. There’s a tenderness in her writing, and even when the ideas weren’t totally new to me, reading them still made me pause and reflect. That said, I did wish for a bit more variety in perspective. Some sections leaned a bit too heavily on traditional relationship narratives, and I found myself wanting her to push the conversation further in some places. Nonetheless, all in all, I’m glad I read it since it left me with small moments of insight that I’ve carried with me since finishing it:)
Liebe ist so viel mehr als nur romantische Beziehungen. Das Buch findet eine sehr schöne Annäherung an das vielfältige Gefühl der Liebe. Es zeigt nicht nur auf, wo wir überall Liebe finden können, sondern ist gleichzeitig ein impliziter Anstoß, die vorhandene Liebe die uns umgibt besser wahrzunehmen. Zudem ist das Buch sehr schön und verständlich geschrieben. Das Interview-Format gefällt mir gut und ist passend. Die vielen Geschichten und Anekdoten geben dem Leser Einblicke in die Individualität von Liebe.
I don’t know why it took me so long to finish this book. It was such a lovely and meaningful read about something important in everyone’s life. There were so many things I could learn or see from a different perspective. And honestly, it was full of quotes I saved and will come back to. „The day before I sat down to write this, my friend Helena sent me a postcard of a painting called Ad Astra (To the Stars). When I looked it up, I found it can be part of a phrase meaning „to the stars through hardships“, sometimes thought to originate from the line „there is no easy way from the Earth to the stars“ „It was so moving that the first time I cried over a boy sixteen years ago, the same people were there to advise and to love me. It was different advice. We were all different people. But the love had remained. That becomes more profound, the older you get.“ „Even when Ruth knew she was dying, she loved life. The little things like liptsick and flowers and chocolate cake remained very important to her. And losing her taught me that optimism and faith is not enough; terrible things do happen, but that doesn‘t mean you have to live in a constant state of fear. If you do, the bad things might still happen anyway, but you wouldn‘t have enjoyed all the pleasures of being alive.“ These and many others truly warmed my heart and gave me a fresh perspective on love, whether it’s romantic, platonic, or familial.
Gutes Buch aus dem man lernen kann
Fand das Buch echt gut. konnte mich mit vielen Dingen identifizieren und einiges dazulernen. Die letzten seiten haben sich für mich etwas gezogen was wahrscheinlich daran lag dass ich mich mit dem thema kinderwunsch und Fehlgeburten noch weniger auseinandergesetzt habe und es irgendwie teilweise sehr emotional dadurch war. aber hab vieles mitnehmen können.
Last book of 2022. I really loved this. I loved all the different perspectives this book offered on love and life. More over I really liked the way Natasha Lunn structured this book into three parts: how to find love, how to sustain love and how to survive once we lose it. Sadly I had really high hopes for the third part which I personally couldn't relate that strongly to because it mostly dealt with grief in relation to losing a person through death rather than trough a break up. I would have wished for a few more conversations on break ups but that could be a personal disappointment. This was the first book I ever read written in a interview style and I really enjoyed that format. I think it made it way easier to read in-between because the interviews were all kept quite short. All aswell the end with the same question: what did you wish you knew about love? That I think was a really cool tool of her to use. It is really interesting to see how all the different people with those extremely different life paths and different thoughts on love answered the same question in comparison. Over all I would really recommend this book to anyone who would like some diverse and interesting food for thought on the topic love. Just check the trigger warnings :)
من این کتاب رو با ترجمه امیر مهدی حقیقت با نام گفت و گوهای عاشقانه خوندم و بی نهایت لذت بردم. یه مرجع و منبع خوب برای هر نوع رابطهاس و خب انسان همیشه با ادمها در حال ارتباطه و این ارتباط رو ممکنه از دست بده. در واقع کتاب یه جهان بینی تازه به مخاطب میده و از این کتاب ها نیست که با یه بار خوندن شما رو خوشحال کنه. بارها و بارها باید خوندش و تو موقعیت های جدید سراغش رفت. شدیدا بهتون توصیه میکنم بخونید.
Ausgeliehen von Freundin. Sonst hätte ich es abgebrochen. Am Ende viel übersprungen. Aufbau ist redundant, da die Autorin dutzende Interviews mit Experten, Autoren einbaut und sich daher vieles bis alles ständig wiederholt. 90% sind Allgemeinplätze (Liebe ist auch Verlust, Beziehungen benötigen Arbeit blabla) und nicht wirklich neues. Immer wieder wird ihre eigene Geschichte Mutter werden zu wollen (Fehlgeburten etc .) aufgerollt und anhand dessen das Thema Liebe diskutiert - ermüdend. Berührt hat mich eigentlich nur das Interview mit Melanie Reid, die querschnittsgelähmt ist nach einem Unfall und wie sie ihre Beziehungen nun lebt und in der "Kindness of strangers" Liebe sehen kann statt Demütigung oder Mitleid. Fazit: Schade. Vollkommen überbewertet. Verstehe die vielen guten Bewertungen überhaupt nicht. So deep wie ein Artikel einer random Frauenzeitschrift :(
