Beautiful little book that aside from showing it's time period a bit does an eloquent job of analyzing the ties that bind us all together. The final chapter is particularly illuminating.
Reputo la visione dell’autore datata, a tratti addirittura così antiquata da risultare retrograda e disturbante. Ci sono alcuni fondamenti di base di antropologia e psicologia, ma non penso si possa davvero definire un trattato psicologico sull’amore, più che altro sembra un modo per cercare di razionalizzarlo e di dimostrare come questo sia andato perduto all’interno della società capitalista. Sinceramente, non è un libro che consiglierei, dato che mi sembra del tutto privo di un fondamento logico.

i believe this should be read alongside "all about love" by bell hooks

Forget what you think the name implies, ignore that it was written years ago, and read it. It's not a self-help book, but it is about being human.

I didn't align with a lot of the views in this book, as there were dated biases around sexual orientation, and a lot of the generalizations weren't backed up by evidencing, but found the writing to be occasionally insightful and thought-provoking.
Overall rating: 3.5/5 stars
Definitely has some good and insightful points, but also drags on in a few parts and has some outdated comments. I don't think I've been enlightened on the topic of love, but I wasn't dissatisfied with the book either.

Det var många gånger som jag absolut inte höll med om påståenden och som stycken/meningar fick boken att kännas utdaterad. Jag som vanligtvis kan bli lite bitter av detta kände istället att jag på något sätt kunde uppskatta kontrasten (gentemot min egna uppfattning). Jag vet inte om den här boken ska vara vetenskaplig, jag ser den inte riktigt så, utan jag har mer uppskattat perspektivet och tar ändå med mig några lärdomar/tankar från denna bok. I det hela: intressant läsning
