A book to inspire closeness and connection, helping people not only to find love but to make it last.

Few things promise us greater happiness than our relationships - yet few things more reliably deliver misery and frustration.

Our error is to suppose that we are born knowing how to love and that managing a relationship might therefore be intuitive and easy. This book starts from a different premise: that love is a skill to be learnt, rather than just an emotion to be felt.

It calmly and charmingly takes us around the key issues of relationships, from arguments to sex, forgiveness to communication, making sure that success in love need never again be just a matter of luck.

Part of a new essential paperback series from The School of Life, covering a range of emotional lessons needed in order to lead fulfilled and happy lives.

A book to encourage compassion and forgiveness, showing us how we can work towards a better and kinder world.

'A simple and honest book about what love and relationships really are instead of what we think they should be'

'This book really does challenge stereotypes of love. It opens your eyes to how you have been influenced by romantic love stories unknowingly. Would definitely recommend'
