Review

“A provocative, insightful, and deeply humane meditation on ‘life’s most mystifying subject’... Jones ... proves an exceptional guide -- droll, compassionate, nonjudgmental -- through all of love’s many phases.” (Elle)

From the Back Cover

Love is unrivaled in its power to thrill, crush, and sustain. No subject in human history has been more thoroughly examined. And yet, as desperately as we have tried to unlock love's mysteries—to "decode" it through scientific experimentation, philosophical inquiry, and even mathematical algorithms—do we really understand love any better today than Shakespeare did nearly five hundred years ago?

As the editor of a column about love in the New York Times, Daniel Jones has been privy to the deepest personal revelations of tens of thousands of strangers. Deluged with stories of scheming cheaters, hopeless romantics, racy texts, and fierce devotion, he has spent much of the past decade wading through love's muck and majesty—and has taken plenty of notes along the way. In Love Illuminated, he uses his unique perspective to tease apart life's most mystifying subject.

Drawing from the 50,000 tales of love that have crossed his desk, Jones traces the arc of human relationships through ten phases, starting with the pursuit, destiny, vulnerability, connection, and trust of new love, and then turning to the practicality, monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom of love matured. With empathy and wry humor, he takes readers on an enlightening journey through the highs, lows, and enduring unknowns of this universal experience that rattles the head and stirs the heart.

As Jones explains, "Love is about curiosity, not certainty. It's about tossing oneself overboard into the wild seas, not remaining safely on deck."

In Love Illuminated, he pulls us into the depths of love in all its contradictions and complexities, offering glimmers of understanding along with the comforts of shared experience.

"A man who has read letters about love from 50,000 people must have some brilliant insights on the topic," was my thought as I ordered this book without knowing anything about it other than the NY Times `Modern Love' column my friend had forwarded to me. Luckily, it was a decent gamble: I enjoyed "Love Illuminated" and learned much from it.

Jones covers the full spectrum of relationships via 9 chapters: pursuit, destiny, vulnerability, connection, trust, practicality, monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom. His treatment of the topics is consistently lighthearted and even funny, never soap-box preachy. I broke out into FVG (full-volume guffaw) at least 3 times (LOL ain't what it used to be).

He approaches the topics descriptively rather than prescriptively, befitting his role as reporter rather than licensed therapist (for relevant books by professionals, I would recommend Dr Gordon Livingston's How to Love and Dr John Gottman's indispensable The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work). Jones presents the full taxonomy of possibilities for a given challenge and then presents you with the pluses and minuses for each, allowing you to decide what works. For example, to preserve individuality in your marriage, you can get separate houses, get an office spouse, or have an open marriage. (There are similar lists for handling monotony, and deciding upon your married last name.
