Is there any book that changed your perspective of love? If so which one?

[gayesblog]

The genre of the book does not matter. It can either be a romance novel or a self improvement...

The 1972 book "Love" by Leo Buscaglia. (*)
I read it 40 years ago soon after I got my first broken heart and it confirmed for me what I was feeling and that I wasn't going nuts.

(*) The late great professor Leo Buscaglia was nicknamed "Dr. Love". But, then again, so was Gene Simmons of KISS.

Here's a good quote from Buscaglia:
“Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.” – Leo F. Buscaglia

>>>>> This is why pre-nups are bullshit. <<<<<
If a man ever asks you for a pre-nup, dump his ass right then and there because he doesn't love you and, worse, he doesn't even understand love, period. The only thing that could possibly teach him love is a devastating broken heart. So, if you give it to him and he learns, don't go back because he will unlearn.
Let him burn, so to speak, and then he may not be an asshole for the next woman. For you, every microsecond you continue to spend with him is a microsecond from your life that you will never be able to get back. Move on ASAP.

A interview of Andrew Carnegie (5th richest man in record history)

He made realize the world runs on value.
You get what you can give.
It's sad and ugly but it's the truth.
Unconditional love doesn't exist.
Love is entirely in your hands.

It taught me to stop thinking how everyone else thinks.

Like for example, I just got done typing a comment on another post saying that if you have to check your partners phone then you have no recognition of what a healthy relationship or partner looks like. And the truth is most people don't. They don't see the full picture.

A book called Orange. It shows a love for humanity I've never seen nor can I understand. A teenage girl is suicidal and expresses that to a stranger, a day before she plans on killing herself. The stranger, moved by love for his fellow humans, tells her that if someone gave her a new lease on life, and took her pain from her, she has a duty to live a good and happy life. He then proceeds to jump off a building, in her stead.

I've never seen that before, at all. It was so strange.

The main character of this book fell love with somebody at about the same time I did and the circumstances were similar.

[BCRanger10]

Yes. Two, actually. One is called Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love written by a man named Edward Sri, which brought me to another book called Love and Responsibility, written by Karol Wojtyla, who would later become Pope John Paul II.

No. I’d been set in what I was looking for from a young age. Even before I acknowledged it, oddly. Maybe they help reconfirm what I wasn’t looking for though.
