Publisher Description
The definitive guide to arguments-and how to argue, better
Sex, money, in-laws, finances, the laundry on the floor…
Every couple argues. In fact, arguments-whether trivial or significant-are woven into the very fabric of romantic relationships. Most arguments stem from the disconnect between the message we want to send ("I need you to love me, know me, agree with me") and the manner in which we deliver it (with accusations, sulking, put-downs, sarcasm, even exaggerated gesticulations and forceful F-yous!),
A bad argument is nothing more than a failed attempt to communicate. By taking a close look at the most common arguments, The School of Life experts offer practical ideas on how to avoid conflict and improve communication between partners. This book teaches us why arguments happen, what their symptoms are, and how to resolve them effectively.

Untangling Love's Labyrinth
In our ceaseless quest for love, we are often hamstrung by the myriad contradictions, imperfections, and misguided perceptions intrinsic to our human nature. Alain De Botton adeptly dissects these commonly misdirected strategies of discourse, striving to bring clarity to the complex tapestry of romantic interactions. He endeavors, recognizing the unique intricacies of each relationship, to illuminate the path for more sincere and productive dialogues about our profoundest apprehensions with a partner.
From the constraints of monogamy to the disheartening wane of passion, our romantic engagements are besieged by a plethora of miscommunications, harsh criticisms, and unsettling silences. These often manifest in visceral displays of emotion: doors slammed in frustration, tear-streaked faces, and fervent expletives echoing through tense spaces.
