Great
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book provides a foundation to understand relationships. The inclusion of many psychological theories as well as literature provide great thought provocation. I think you would definately be able to take something away from this book. If nothing else (even if you don't subscribe to any of the theories), it definately delivers a way of discussing relationships. I can;t see any way thay someone could not apply some of the theory to either past present or future. I ended up highlighting many meaningful paragraphs that I can use/refer to. I Love the book and recommend it!
An easy-to-read introduction to the psychology of love

A lot of people don't know that, in addition to his extensive work on intelligence, Bob Sternberg of Yale University does research on love. He's now written several books on love, but Cupid's Arrow is my favorite. It's easy to read, it's entertaining, and covers almost all the important data on love and attraction that has come out in the past 30 years. He starts the book with his own "triangular theory of love" framework, which serves as a nice organizer for the material. In addition to being a terrific introduction to the REAL psychology of love (as presented by real psychological scientists rather than bored therapists with PhD after their name), the book gives a detailed account of breakups of long-term relationships and a review of love in literature and culture. The chapters are diverse and fascinating. If you have any interest in what research can tell you about love and attraction, or in gaining insight into your own relationship or breakup, give this short book a try. You won't regret it
