The Evolution of Love (collected Works of Alain De Botton)
by H
About This Novel
De Botton takes the love story of Rabbi and Kirsten as the main theme, supplemented by philosophical and psychological thinking, from the budding of love to the sailing of love, from entering the siege to being trapped in the "city", to extramarital affairs, and finally through self-exploration, the complete process of detached acceptance of marriage, and every step of love and marriage. He made a calm and wise analysis at each stage, laying out his full and deep thinking through delicate situations and integrating concrete and real characters, until people gradually realized that the essence of love is not so much a passion as a skill that needs to be learned. Only by understanding this way can we have the calmness to see through thousands of sails, and accept marriage calmly after all the vicissitudes of life. This book is a work of essays, but also a philosophical, psychological, and sociological work full of wisdom that reveals the rules of love and marriage. It helps us no longer wander around the various dilemmas in the process of love and marriage, and rekindles our enthusiasm for life, and then understands: It is easy to fall in love, it only requires a moment of passion, but it is not easy to maintain love. It requires a lifetime of practice. What we should do is to break the illusion and love more pragmatically, healthily, and non-instinctively.
