This book reviews the changes in the social status of love in human history, from collectivism to individualism, from patriarchal society to feminism. Love, as a human right, even a women's right, requires that individual feelings, experiences and values be respected, and is a response to what represents our deepest or highest value.
The author of this book is an American psychological counselor with 25 years of experience in psychological counseling and marriage counseling. From a psychological perspective, he deciphers various modern people's myths about love, why love is so important to modern people, and what is the essence of love.
The author proposes that love is the relationship between two mature people. We cannot build ourselves and create self-esteem in love. This will make love fail. We must first complete the relationship with ourselves and love ourselves. Only then can we believe that we are worthy of being loved and accept love.
