Conversations on Love Hopeful and uplifting... this deep dive into the human heart will expand and enrich your perspective on love' Evening Standard
Conversations on Love is a glorious celebration of human vulnerability and connection. It has made me laugh, shed tears, think deeply. I want every person I love to read this book' Dr Kathryn Mannix, Sunday Times bestselling author of WITH THE END IN MINDConversations on Love dari Natasha Lunn adalah salah satunya. Sejak bab pertama hingga aku menyelesaikannya dalam waktu 5 hari, magnetnya begitu kuat. Setiap paragraf ditulis dengan mengalir, dengan emosional tentang apa itu "Cinta." After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it? These conversations explore a lot more than romantic love. In fact, ‘loss’ is a huge topic that highlights love in a very powerful way. Lunn talks to people who have lost partners, who have lost the ability to walk, who have lost parents at a young age, and devastatingly - people who have lost children too.
Because being yourself in a relationship is a risk. It means showing someone the real bits of who you are--the spots beneath the make up; the self-doubt beneath the cynicism-and finding the courage to say 'This is me. Take it or leave it' and to really mean it." I found this book accessible and easy to read in little snippets if I didn’t have time to sit down for an hour, as the interviews are pretty short- though I couldn’t read it without a pen in hand to frantically underline passages! Conversations on Love shows that love comes in myriad forms and that like our hearts and minds, it can be explored infinitely' Pandora Sykes, Sunday Times bestselling author of 'How Do We Know We're Doing It Right?'

At the end of her journey, Lunn is embarking on motherhood, reflecting on the importance of paying attention, and doing the work of loving rather than waiting for it to arrive: “Love is a choice – and sometimes it’s choosing to love someone even when we don’t feel lovingly towards them. The feeling of being ‘in love’ comes and goes, ebbs and flows, but the action of loving is a decision. One we make every day.”

Sepanjang membaca Conversations on Love, ada perasaan hangat berkat "kasih sayang" yang nggak terbatas artinya kepada pasangan. Seperti yang tampak di bagian sampul, buku ini juga ingin menyentuh dimensi "cinta" kepada orangtua, teman, & manusia lain. Juga tentang mengawali dan mengakhiri cinta kasih itu sendiri. What started off as a pursuit of the secrets of love evolves – conversation by conversation – into a moving meditation on life and loss. To know someone is to love them. So you make someone the right person and they make you the right person. There isn't someone the right shape out there for every person--that has to happen in relationships. That's why relationships get better, because we allow mutual impact".
The best definition of happiness is the ability to approach your life as this gorgeous, unfolding work of art that's always changing that never quite you expected to be, and then seeing that it's more beautiful than anything that's supposedly perfect and pristine. So learning to love someone for all their faults and layers of weirdness is a way of learning to be alive, fulfilled, and satisfied with the life that you have." Psychotherapist Susie Orbach argues that “friends have a responsibility to continue to learn and accept who the other is in the present… rather than clinging to the old versions of who they once were”. And author Diana Evans explains: “When I look at my 16-year-old daughter, I see memories of her as a baby and as a toddler and as a six-year-old… In just one glance, I recollect her in a multidimensional way.”if you've been here a bit you may have seen me say my absolute favorite books remind me that life is magical, that even its mundane moments are filled with love and beauty. This book is moving and lyrical, but more than anything it captures how love colours and transforms loss, and makes the reader feel that the memory of love is sustains in itself Baroness Julia Neuberger Stephen Grosz, a psychotherapist, suggests that “development demands loss… Life requires of us that we let go of places, things, people that we love, to make room for new life, new love… It’s unbearable, but if we are to grow, we must endure this pain”. Reading Conversation on Love feels like a self-reflection, Lunn will guide you to see love in a different way with compassion. Every interview is more than getting famous names to talk (hello Philippay Perry, Roxane Gay, and Lisa Taddeo). They provide a great depth and an honest disclosure, that we all need to be loved. This eclectic and heartwarming collection explores love in all its forms, from romantic and parental love to friendship and loss. Interspersed with short but often deeply revealing interviews are Lunn's own experiences - of marriage and miscarriage, of being mother and daughter, wife and friend - which she portrays with sensitivity and candour.
