F*CK LOVE: One Shrink’s Sensible Advice for Finding a Lasting Relationship
In their groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, F*ck Feelings (2015), veteran psychiatrist and APA Distinguished Fellow Michael Bennett, MD and his comedy-writing daughter Sarah Bennett offered practical solutions for dealing with life’s problems in a funny, straightforward, and a very un-self-help-like book.
Now they’re bringing back their patented blunt and hilarious advice to talk about love and relationships. In F*CK LOVE: One Shrink’s Sensible Advice for Finding a Lasting Relationship (Touchstone Hardcover, January 31, 2017; $19.99; ISBN: 978-1-5011-4056-3), the Bennetts explain why we so often find ourselves in relationships that don’t work. Most relationships that fail, it turns out, end because the two people were fundamentally wrong for each other in the first place. However, those incompatibilities were wrapped around a cocoon of excitement, lust, charisma…of feelings.
Outrageous, funny, and profoundly sensible, F*CK LOVE argues that finding a partner should be more like a business deal than a candlelit dinner. Chapter by chapter, it breaks down those traits that people tend to seek out: charisma, beauty, chemistry, communication, a sense of humor, family stability, intelligence, and wealth. Finding lasting love doesn’t require ignoring these intense feelings, but rather understanding—and therefore mitigating—the influence they have. Each chapter offers entertaining (and useful) Cosmo-style quizzes to test how much you tend to focus on that quality, as well as funny flowcharts like "Should I Go On a Date with this Person I'm Interested In?" The authors also include some questions concerning relationship situations that Dr. Bennett has seen with his clients, and offer advice for both the person who, say, is only attracted to exciting, dangerous people and the person who is that exciting person, and wants to know how to find a relationship that’s more than just passion.
