‘A revelatory re-conceptualization of how we create love’ Dr Emily NagoskiWe are so used to hearing that ‘love is blind’, ‘you will know when you meet the one’ and that love should be ‘unconditional’. However, are these idioms the best way to secure successful lasting relationships? Or might we have been given the wrong handbook for love?Dr Sara Nasserzadeh invites us to re-examine our beliefs – mainly shaped by an outdated, static and haphazard Western idea of romantic love – and empowers us with six core principles – Attraction, Respect, Trust, Shared Vision, Compassion, Loving Behaviours – to create and sustain meaningful relationships through a new paradigm of love: The Emergent Love Model.This ground-breaking book introduces and offers an entirely new language and set of skills to begin designing the love that you truly desire.Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh's Love by Design is a non-fiction masterpiece that redefines the concepts of romance, dating, and marriage. It offers a resolution to the conflicts and potential separations that can occur in long-term relationships, providing a fresh perspective on love.For fans of Terrence Real (Us), John Gottman (The New Marriage Clinic), Julie Schwartz Gottman Phd (Eight Dates), and Benji Waterhouse (You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here).HarperCollins 2024
