Product Information

Sepanjang membaca Conversations on Love, ada perasaan hangat berkat "kasih sayang" yang nggak terbatas artinya kepada pasangan. Seperti yang tampak di bagian sampul, buku ini juga ingin menyentuh dimensi "cinta" kepada orangtua, teman, & manusia lain. Juga tentang mengawali dan mengakhiri cinta kasih itu sendiri. Based on her newsletter of the same name, Natasha Lunn’s Conversations on Love is an insightful and fascinating book, exploring love in all its forms from romance, friendship, and parenting to grief and heartbreak. Standout Quote or Moment: “It seems to me that we expect so much from love, yet devote so little time to understanding it. Like wanting to dive into the sea but having no interest in learning to swim.”

Stephen Grosz, a psychotherapist, suggests that “development demands loss… Life requires of us that we let go of places, things, people that we love, to make room for new life, new love… It’s unbearable, but if we are to grow, we must endure this pain”. Interviewing authors and experts as well as drawing on her own experience, Natasha Lunn guides us through the complexities of these three questions. The result is a book to learn from, to lose and find yourself in. The real-life love stories will leave you feeling hopeful and seen, while the insights from experts will transform the way you think about your relationships. Above all, Conversations on Love will remind you that love is fragile, sturdy, mundane, beautiful; a thing always worth fighting for. Conversations on Love dari Natasha Lunn adalah salah satunya. Sejak bab pertama hingga aku menyelesaikannya dalam waktu 5 hari, magnetnya begitu kuat. Setiap paragraf ditulis dengan mengalir, dengan emosional tentang apa itu "Cinta." The focus is on increasing our number of connections with others and the different forms of love they bring into our lives, grounding us with our friends, family, paying attention to our spiritual sides and increasing our links to the wider community. This contributes to our mental health, resilience and happiness, making us more able to cope with the challenges that are going to come our way. The book is organised in 3 parts, how do we find love, how do we sustain love and how do we survive losing love?, followed by a conclusion with its overview. I was impressed with the range of people Lunn drew on, the heartbreaks, the grief, providing wider perspectives on love, such as parents who have faced the unbearable loss of a child, others who have lost their partners, and someone who is no longer able to walk.

This is a book that people need to read about love in its many complex, challenging, sacred and profane forms Jean Hannah Edelstein, author of This Really Isn't About You Conversations on Love will change your perspective of connection, love, friendship, grief, and everything in between. It's the most important book I've read this year, and it may have changed the way I approach relationships forever Her.ie The simple fact of the unknown was one I could not resist wrestling with. Like hauling a heavy suitcase up the stairs at a station, I imagined it would be easier if there were an end point in sight, because when you can see the top of the station stairs or the finish line of a run, it’s easy to dig deep for an extra bit of strength to get there.” What started off as a pursuit of the secrets of love evolves – conversation by conversation – into a moving meditation on life and loss.This book is moving and lyrical, but more than anything it captures how love colours and transforms loss, and makes the reader feel that the memory of love is sustains in itself Baroness Julia Neuberger Every day we think about love, and every day love eludes us. Maybe you're hoping to begin a new relationship, or in a secret place in your heart, gathering the courage to leave one. Maybe you're in a long-term partnership, wondering how to sustain love through life's many storms. Maybe you're a parent and you want to be a better one; or you've lost a parent, and that loss suddenly dwarves everything else. After years of interviewing people about their relationships, Natasha Lunn learnt that these daily questions about love are often rooted in three bigger ones:

I resonated so strongly with certain interviews, but I also gained valuable insight into other kinds of love and loss I won’t ever experience myself. It gave me a new appreciation for my life and the love within it. Conversations on Love made me laugh, shed tears, think deeply. I want every person I love to read this book' Dr Kathryn Mannix, Sunday Times bestselling author of WITH THE END IN MINDLunn accentuates the importance of accepting change in others, focusing on the unique relationship between siblings, born out of a deep knowledge acquired during a specific shared time, and on the love between friends and for children. Conversations on Love is a glorious celebration of human vulnerability and connection. It has made me laugh, shed tears, think deeply.

This eclectic and heartwarming collection explores love in all its forms, from romantic and parental love to friendship and loss. Interspersed with short but often deeply revealing interviews are Lunn's own experiences - of marriage and miscarriage, of being mother and daughter, wife and friend - which she portrays with sensitivity and candour. Observer After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?

There is a lot to like about this book. It is written and flows together beautifully. There were a few sections however that began to meander and become a little too repetitive. Whilst I appreciated hearing from different voices and felt this added another layer to the book…I felt that a lot of the perspectives were quite similar. This added to the sense of repetition through the themes rather than unique or differing perspectives that give greater cause for pause and reflection. this read couldn't have come at a better time for me, as i both marked the time between five star reads in months and navigate the growing seriousness of being super crazy stupid cheesy boring capital I capital L In Love for the first time—the scariest thing i've ever done. In addition to miscarriage, there are other difficult themes and conversations in this book, and whilst they are handled gently and sensitively, through Lunn’s writing and interview style, I will include trigger warnings for bereavement, miscarriage and difficulty to conceive.
