Better than I thought it was going to be. I read this in an hour or so as it was part of my hotel's decor. It's simplistic but concise. I think paired with 'Attached' by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller is gives a pretty succint overview of how to approach modern romantic relationships.

“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”

How to Find Love is a great tool to refocus where your interests lie in the pursuit of relationships, past or present.
This book contains a handy amount of philosophy, neatly paired with common sense, and effectively combats an obsession with romance in a world with such a diversification in choice when it comes to love.
I’ve read it a number of times, before I was in my current relationship, and now while I’m in it, and it still serves as a good opportunity to check in with myself and my romantic agenda. To understand what I want out of a relationship, my choice of a partner, and where my own weaknesses lie.
I felt like it could’ve gone into more depth about our psychological connections to the people we pick, common patterns, maybe even pseudo-attachment style and being ourselves at the espense of the dramatic irony and cynicism, but all round a nice coffee table book.

J'étais assez hésitant à l'idée de prendre ce livre, le titre sonnant un peu désespéré. Mais j'y ai trouvé une montagne de passages m'ouvrant les yeux sur l'intégralité de mes relations passées, sur des points que je n'avais pas relevé. Loin des dictons usuels, ce livre confronte à des interrogations profondes et ne prends pas des gants pour dire les choses en face et nous faire réaliser nos défauts et les écueils dans lesquels nous retombons sans cesse. Je pense sérieusement qu'il apportera une grande matière à réflexion à toute personne un peu perdue dans sa vie sentimentale. A lire absolument.
