Reviews about Psychology of Romantic Love, The (7):

Very professional, but Dr. Branden lets his personality show through from time to time. I really like it. In buying this book I was looking for practical suggestions on HOW to find romantic love, and I haven't found much so far. However, the book does an incredible job identifying what romantic love is and what key elements are required, and this has given me some good tools to work with. Honestly, the book is probably better than what I was looking for, as there really isn't a concise way to instruct someone on finding romantic love, and such a weighty topic requires an in-depth history and exploration such as that found in this book. It's not as easy as what I had hoped for, but perhaps that's for the best.

I loved the book. I have read it a few times and still find new things I missed before. I wasn’t a fan of the first few chapters regarding our evolution. I’ve actually always skipped that part. I will attempt one more time to get through the beginning and read the book straight through. That has been a challenge though I assume it’s there for a reason.

Every one who believes to be in love should read this gem of a book. Particularly if you are thinking of getting married; if you have been married or in a committed relationship....or in a meaningful but unobtainable relationship, this book will enlighten you, teach you and help you to understand why or why not it worked.

I liked this book a lot. Many points of self-love to reflect in loving significant other.
I am more careful about using the word “ Love” now. Has a different meaning for me.

I love Branden's writing. Certain authors just speak the same language as the reader, and he does that for me. His work on self-esteem is important, but I find this particular work to be of special value, including the history sections; it's interesting, but a little frustrating to see how far we've come, but still have so far to go in terms of how men and women come together.

I love Nathaniel Branden as an author. His ideas are so smart and very close to human nature/psychology. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand what is love, devotion, sharing values and life as whole with someone. I would also recommend it to everybody who has struggles in keeping happiness and passion in a relationship and to everyone who doesn't believe in love, to someone who feel disappointed in love. I have a great appreciation for the main idea of the book that love is not just something that happens or doesn't happen to us. It is something we develop together with someone! :)

The title tells it all.

We live in an age of increasing fascination with technology and self awareness gleaned from networking via screen vs seeing our reflections in the eyes of others.

While I am fascinated with what technology has revealed about human nature in studies that enable us to peer into the inner workings of body and brain and heart, the message of this non science based book rings true in these technologically driven studies:
Love is a reaction of body and brain and that 'chemistry' we feel is real.
Nurturing and sustaining love requires engaging in the moment authentically with an other-getting 'in the zone' where connecting generates deep admiration and creates the feelings of deep romantic love for which we strive.
Self-esteem is the basis of being able to love in that way that nurtures the growth, evolution, and full expression of an other. With self-esteem, we can feel and express admiration for the person we love.
Without self-esteem, we are prone to feeling the perceived threat that drives us to extinguish our admiration for the other and pulls us into jealousy.
Communicating our true feelings including fears is key to jump starting and sustaining the connection required for romantic love.
And when a relationship can not accommodate such vulnerable and real communication, it does not provide the potential for true romantic love - a good sign of when to hold, when to fold, when to walk away or run...

Branden reads as if he is speaking to you. Taking the time to think with this book, to respond in your head as you might in dialogue with him, makes the book a field for growing your self and opening your heart.
I am so glad that I read this book. Many of my questions about my failed relationships were answered. I have a new beginning. This is a good book for 'll to read, esp. If you want healthy love in your life.
