notafish_ 's review for:
I am not sure that this is the version I listened to, Audible lists it as a 2015 version. Narrated by the author. In any case. I am split on this book. I actually really like the idea of those five languages, and I find them to be extremely simple, straightforward, and of course, easy to "apply". They might even work, actually. This is one of those methods that you learn about and that you then see everywhere (ie. after reading the book you actually look around to see if you recognize everyone's love language). But the sexism, the religious proselytism, the ...outdatedness of it all makes it difficult to stomach at times. This book would really benefit from being rewritten from scratch with more gender neutral and more era-aware examples (it seems the author can't have enough of women in the kitchen and men working like crazy). I did find the underlying idea interesting. Once crossed with other theories/models (for example Mindset by Carol Dweck to mitigate the problems of Words of affirmation), I would say it will definitely influence the way I act with people. Just, take a step back to stomach the sexism and all.
