Publisher's Summary

Essays in Love is a stunningly original love story. Taking in Aristotle, Wittgenstein, history, religion and Groucho Marx, Alain de Botton charts the progress of a love affair from the first kiss to argument and reconciliation, from intimacy and tenderness to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak.

Perhaps better read as a book and not an audiobook

I really like books by Alain de Botton but this is the first one that I'm listening to on Audible. It was a good book at times but boring at others.
