Top 26 Books About Love And Life

I read this book last year when I turned 30 and it completely changed my perspective about what I should and shouldn’t be doing at this point in my life. It was so comforting and encouraging to read accounts from various other thirtysomethings struggling through the same economy-driven decisions I was facing. I highly recommend this book!

This is the most indepth year long study on the real meaning of love. I learned things that I never knew about love. We learn love as we go and as we grow up and everything we learn is not necessarily right. This book hits the nail on the head. And it is funny and very entertaining. I could not put it down. This book changed my life and will change anybody’s life who reads it. It really is what the world needs now!

I usually approach the woo-woo side of love with a healthy bit of unease, but Only Love is Real managed to soften my skeptical heart. It details the experience of psychologist Dr. Brian Weiss, who realizes that two of his patients are reporting the same shared past life experiences across centuries despite being complete strangers in the present. You can take the stories at face value or you can see them as convenient parables; either way, the subject matter is an invitation to dig into big, existential questions about concepts like soulmates, destiny, free will and what happens after we die. The way the mystery unfolds is deliciously readable, like a beach read with a deeply philosophical undertone. It is a book that stays with you long after it’s shelved.

What Life Is All About is a unique book written by Leo F. Buscaglia that defines love in multiple aspects. The book is about you and about every guy who ever fell in love with someone or is currently in the love of someone special. The book was released in 1996 and inspired a lot and taught the definition of love to thousands. It is overall a good book about love that can be gifted to loved ones.

The book is all about the trainer of animals who treat them badly and use them just to earn a huge penny and have no feelings for them who do dangerous stunts for them in circuses. The book guides to maintenance of healthy relations of the trainers with their trainee animals.

Everyone who watch the movie with the same knew that this story is about a young man who survives a disturbing shipwreck in a lifeboat for months with Richard Parker, a large Bengal Tiger. I choose this book as one of my favorites because what I learned from this, is life is about adventure — a sense that as we grow older, we feel young. And as we go to this adventure, we create stories. These stories are survival, hope and love. Same as Pi and Richard Parker, we need to survive in our life. We should never lose hope as we continue our own journey and we need to treat others even if it is an animal better and with respect. We should just keep going until we achieve our goals and the things we love.

Gary Marcus’ book is written for anyone who felt it would be a waste of time to pursue a hobby in music, despite the challenges that come with learning that language. At the age of 38, Marcus made a firm decision to learn the guitar. He had even played the video game, “Guitar Hero,” but to no avail, until he made a conscious decision to dedicate time out of each of his days to learn the instrument. Soon, he was improvising and understanding the language of music, turning his long dreamt of hobby to a reality. I like this book because after playing the guitar as a high schooler, the instrument faded with me as I went through college, went into the professional working world, getting married, having children — you know, life happened. I eventually realized, though, that I needed the joy of music to have a happy life.

Henri’s book accurately captures the direct correlation between love and life. It vividly captures and narrates how lost love can translate to an unfulfilled life that cannot be satisfied by any replacement but the very thing that appeals to the heart. In the book, a young man strays into a mysterious village in a forest and meets a girl that appeals to his heart in the most unusual way. He is unable to relocate the mysterious place again but the image and passion for the girl haunt him all the days of his life. Despite trying to love again, he never finds a replica of the mysterious woman that he met once and this throws his life into a dark abyss of wishful thinking and painful memories. His life is miserable until many years into his adulthood, he meets her again and they fall in love. The lost and found love reverses his misery and he lives happily ever after. The story resonates perfectly with modern life where it is possible to find love that changes one’s life and no matter how hard we try, it can never be replaced.

Of Human Bondage presents the connection between unfair life and unfair love. The man in the story loses his mother at birth while his father had died some months prior. His tough life starts when he goes to live with a harsh, abusive uncle. The young man, having never known good life, falls in love with a mean, possessive, destructive and disdaining woman but he can never let go of her since he thinks life is always tough and brutal. The book explains why many people, due to bad quality of life, put up with walking on eggshells in their relationships. They think getting out will make things worse or they will endure the same fate elsewhere. However, once they make the bold move to leave, they find that life can be better and fulfilling no matter how difficult it can be to make this decision. In short, it preaches that a bad life is no excuse to put up with toxic love and vice-versa.

If there was ever a realistic book about first love and how it influences life henceforth, it should be Forever by Judy Blume. Just like Katherine in the book, we fall so deeply in love for the first time and hope that it will last forever. However, life brings up factors like distance, new discoveries, temptations, lust, and other unavoidable misfortunes that mess with our first love. Do we get bitter and live with the pain or wipe our tears and move on? The book shows the struggles and comparisons that we go through life as we can never escape the grip of the first time we fell in love. In a nutshell, this book is a good read in that it lays it bare that once in a while, we might come across strong love that does not necessarily last forever because life has its own plans. Therefore, this is a normal occurrence that will affect all of us once or severally in our lifetimes.

In modern-day life, the world is full of depressed people- people full of insecurities, uncertainty and anxiety.

In the book, a girl suffering from anxiety cannot decide whether to give in to a boy who is deeply in love with her. The book unearths the struggles that we undergo as we try to balance between retaining the walls that keep us within our shells of anxiety or breaking them down and letting love pour in. The relationship between life in the 21st century and how it is affecting romantic relationships is accurately elaborated in the pages. It reveals that this is a widespread problem affecting everyone as life and love engage in a tug-of-war.

Those in the US who get turned on by watching a predator eat a person outnumber the entire population of Massachusetts, a random American is about as likely to be turned on by parent-child roleplay as they are to be Black, and more Americans are turned on by feces than have a PhD. What the heck is going on here? Why do strange, often-inconvenient things activate a system that presumably evolved to compel humans to reproduce? Why do some things arouse some while repulsing others? Have we got a book for you!

This guide acts as an instruction manual for mate acquisition strategies of all stripes, providing the foundation needed to excel at any number of tricky tasks—be it getting laid, writing a marriage contract, training a spouse, determining whether a partner cheated, exploring the world of non-monogamy, or finding the perfect long-term partner.

I have never read anything as profound as “The keeper of lost things”. A perfect depiction of love, loss, and the value of life, this book is like a warm blanket in harsh winters. All the characters have a beautiful story and the book leaves you teary-eyed. The main character Anthony collects objects that people have lost. Sounds strange? Anthony’s mission stems from his own loss; he lost his beloved fiancée years ago and he thus resolved to reunite people with the things they lose. As he dies, he passes over the responsibility to his caretaker who is fighting her own battles after a messy divorce. On her mission, Laura finds ways to heal. There is another beautiful story that is woven between Anthony’s story. The story of Eunice and Bomber is of unconditional companionship that is not romantic in nature. The stories behind the lost objects, the connection, and every emotion in the book will heal you and convince you about the beauty of life. Mystery, intrigue, magic, kindness, and love abound in the book and make for a perfect read when you are low.
