Stephen A. Mitchell,Margaret J. Black
Common wisdom has it that love is fragile, but leading psychoanalyst Stephen A. Mitchell argues that romance doesn't actually diminish in long-term relationshipsâ€”it becomes increasingly dangerous. What we regard as the transience of love is really risk management. Mitchell shows that love can endure, if only we become aware of our self-destructive efforts to protect ourselves from its risks. "Those who read this book will love more wisely because of it."â€”Andrew Solomon, author of ,The Noonday Demon, "[A] work on romance that is rich and multi-layered."â€”,Publishers Weekly, "Cheerful, open, and humaneâ€”you'd definitely have wanted him as your analyst."â€”Judith Shulevitz, ,The New York Times, Book Review "[T]houghtful, compassionate, and profoundly optimistic."â€”JoAnn Gutin, Salon.com
