Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Positive Psychology of Love
M. Hojjat · 2013
70/100
👍 Worth It
Oxford's edited volume on love through a positive psychology lens covers genuine ground — attachment, forgiveness, conflict resolution, cultural variation — and the editorial team's credentials are solid. The trade-off, as with most academic edited collections, is uneven chapter depth and minimal practical takeaway for non-researchers. Valuable for scholars and advanced students in relationship science; of limited use to anyone outside that world.
