The problem is that the Judeo-Christian/altruist ethics have dominated our culture for so long that they tend to override common sense when it comes to trying to deal with difficult issues in relationships. The basic approach taken by Locke and Kenner is that you don't want to be either an altruist or a narcissist (a term they take from their experience as clinical psychologists). In other words, you don't want to walk all over other people, but you don't want to be a doormat and let other people walk all over you, either. Either approach is a romance killer...one is bad for yourself, and one is bad for your partner, so both are bad for your relationship (and hence actually for both you and your partner). Rather, romantic relationships should be win-win, with each partner finding happiness in the relationship and wanting happiness for the other partner as well. They go through a number of areas of relationships (including, of course, sex), drawing on their clinical experience to illustrate common problems, and demonstrate how a rationally egoistic approach can create such a win-win scenario for each. But before they even get to examining relationships as such, they look at a more fundamental issue: if you want to be loved, first you have to make yourself loveable. So the early part of the book is devoted to looking at traits of character to cultivate in order to be worthy of love, and some character flaws to eliminate that are common sources of conflict in relationships. There is some valuable material here---anybody could probably find something to take away from this book that would help them improve their love life. Definitely worth a read! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Just about everything most of us have learned about how to find love is wrong. That's the premise of The Selfish Path to Romance. Love is not about sacrifice. Real, lasting romance comes when you are certain about yourself, your needs, and your worth. In the words of top-selling novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand, It is one's one personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns and derives from love. Authors Dr. Edwin Locke and Dr. Ellen Kenner are inspired by the work of philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand. Their book explores Ayn Rand's belief that the assertion of your own needs and values is the foundation of love. The Selfish Path to Romance offers a no-nonsense, rational alternative for those who are serious about finding and sustaining a lifetime romance. Be prepared to have your preconceptions shattered, your intuition challenged, and be ready for candid introspection. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
