Mari Rutis lively research  from Plato to Freud to Gossip Girl to her own bedroom  finally puts an end to playing games  and provides a resource for lovers and the love-scorned alike. A must-read for anyone who has ever fallen in love  wants to  or wants to know what went wrong.\" -Arianne Cohen  creator of TheSexDiariesProject.com \"At last  a relationship advice book that will actually work. If youre intelligent  interested in love  and like a book you cant put down  this is it. John Gray  move over. The brilliant Mari Ruti has arrived.\" -Juliet Schor  professor of sociology  Boston College  and author of Born to Buy and Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth \"Groundbreaking...Ruti opens the eyes of her readers so that they can love better...A must-read.\" -Nancy Redd  New York Times bestselling author of Body Drama \"Finally  a book that takes love seriously. Written with passion and verve...I wish I had read this book years ago!\" -Sean Carroll  author of From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time Are you tired of reading book after book and playing game after game  trying to avoid heartbreak? It seems impossible  and maybe thats because you cant lock up your heart like that-not if you want the real thing. And maybe thats one of the best things about love. Weve been thinking about it all wrong. Our cultures insistence that women need to learn how to catch and keep a man is actually doing much more harm than good. The more we try to manipulate our relationships  the less we are truly able to experience loves benefits and wonders. Love is a slippery  unruly thing  and trying to control and manage it robs us of its delicious unpredictability. Sure  letting go of the reins a bit might mean a broken heart  but heartbreak  in fact  offers a wealth of possibilities-creativity  wisdom  and growth-that we need in order to make the most of our lives. Liberating for women who are frustrated by the idea that they just need to learn the right \"formula \" The Case for Falling in Love shows that there isnt a method to mastering the madness of love. But that might be exactly whats so wonderful about it.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892662464565,"sku":"ByrdShop_1402250800","price":74.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1402250800.jpg?v=1767264666","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-case-for-falling-in-love-why-we-cant-master-the-madness-of-love-and-why-thats-the-best-part","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
