Summary of The School of Life & Alain de Botton's Relationships (The School of Life Library)

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We live in a world that was created by Romanticism, an ideology that emerged in Europe in the mid-18th century. It tells us that a long-term marriage can have the excitement of a love affair, and that sex should be the supreme expression of love.

#2 The modern age has had enough of reasons, which are the catalysts of misery. The prestige of instinct is the legacy of a collective traumatized reaction against too many centuries of unreasonable reason.

#3 We must replace the Romantic view of love with a more mature and psychologically mature vision called Classical, which encourages us to adopt a number of unfamiliar but hopefully effective attitudes.
