How to be an adult in a relationship. Five components of mature love

This book is like a good therapist who teaches you to drown out the destructive voices in your head. The five words that appear most often in it are: attention, acceptance, recognition, tenderness, and freedom.

Act like an adult, even if you didn’t have the opportunity to learn to accept love as a child. Don’t wait for the perfect partner, but take a step towards harmonious relationships. Instead of limiting beliefs — “Don’t let anyone get too close,” “Don’t get attached,” “Happy relationships are a myth,” “No one can love you the way you need them,” “Men/women can’t be trusted” — choose healthier ones.

This is a world bestseller, translated into dozens of languages. In addition to theory, it is filled with practical exercises, so get ready to reflect a lot and communicate sincerely with your partners.
