Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of love and the psychology of sex. Freud's theory is very enlightening, and his analysis of human nature is also very profound. I loved the parts of the book about instinct and repression, it made me think about my own behavior and psychology. However, some of the ideas in the book may be a bit radical, but that's where it makes you think. Overall, this is a book worth reading and will give you a lot of insights about yourself.
