No More Silly Love Songs
What is it about love that keeps us coming back for more? We know it has the potential to hurt us like hell, but still we persist in pursuit. In No More Silly Love Songs, Anouchka Grose looks at love, from myriad different perspectives, in her attempt to get to the bottom of its elusive hold over us.
Grose doesn't profess to have all the answers- No More Silly Love Songs is the antithesis of Neil Strauss's The Game - nor does she advocate a one size fits all approach to love. Instead, what she offers is a perfect collection of imperfect reflections, which inspires us to think about love in new and renewed ways.
Drawing from philosophy, popular psychology, poetry, love songs, Sex and the City, literary love stories and romantic movies- as well as our fascination with famous couples- Grouse pulls together a widely eclectic mix of sources. As a trained and practicing psychoanalyst, she mixes professional insights, with anecdotes from her own love life as well as from very generous family and friends. The result is an insightful book covering the entire spectrum of love.
No More Silly Love Songs is the perfect book for anyone who has ever loved and lost
and attempted to love all over again.
Anouchka Grose is a self-confessed realistic-romantic. She is the author of two novels, Darling Daisy and Ringing for You. This is her first work of adult non-fiction. Grose is a trained and practicing psychoanalyst, who was raised in Australia and now lives in London with her daughter.
