Product Information

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."

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.iePerel spoke about the consumer mentality that makes us think ‘I can do better’ in relationships… Nagoski said that one reason we prioritise spontaneous [sexual] desire might be because capitalism requires us to remain in a state of wanting. This constant craving is an… enemy of love. It makes us forget that the real value of our life is the impact we have on people, like the impact Gary’s mother had on him.” 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.

The pandemic has undoubtedly provoked many of us to reflect on connection, intimacy and loss and I feel this book is the perfect companion to those thoughts. From accepting the changing shape of long-term friendships in your thirties and beyond, the gifts of presenting messy vulnerability rather fantasy in fledging romantic relationships, to painstaking building hope after loss, this book is a wide-ranging, intimate, and heartfelt collection of voices and perspectives, encouraging you to consider, appreciate and tend the love in your life in all its infinite forms. The Round Up Pembaca diajak berkelana bersama Lunn membahas apa itu "cinta" dengan 3 ide besar itu. Narasi Lunn mengantarkan kita pada percakapannya dengan filsuf, psikolog, penyair, penulis, & nama-nama yang nggak asing dalam skena menulis di barat sana. Ambil contoh, ada nama Alaine de Botton, Philippa Perry, Emily Nagoski, Esther Perel, Roxane Gay dan masih banyak lagi. Percakapan itu melengkapi definisi "Cinta" yang Lunn coba ejawantahkan. Psychotherapist Susie Orbach argues that “friends have a responsibility to continue to learn and accept who the other is in the present… rather than clinging to the old versions of who they once were”. And author Diana Evans explains: “When I look at my 16-year-old daughter, I see memories of her as a baby and as a toddler and as a six-year-old… In just one glance, I recollect her in a multidimensional way.”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: The book is divided into three parts: ‘how do we find love?’, ‘how do we sustain love?’ and ‘how can we survive losing love?’, in which Lunn gathers an array of interviewees (from novelist and trans activist Juno Dawson to philosopher Alain de Botton to psychotherapist Phillipa Perry) to offer their thoughts and experiences on obsessive fantasizing and prioritizing romantic relationships, the joy of friendship, the ‘life partnership’ you find in a sibling and surviving devastating loss. Based on Lunn’s popular newsletter, this eclectic and heartwarming collection explores love in all its forms, from romantic and parental love to friendship and loss. Lunn has gathered an impressive array of interviewees, from psychotherapist Philippa Perry and psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz to novelists Lisa Taddeo and Diana Evans. 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.
