Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Rules of Love
Richard Templar · 2013
70/100
👍 Worth It
A breezy, conversational guide that covers romantic, family, and friendship relationships in bite-size two-page rules — easy to pick up and put down, with a sensible emphasis on growing yourself rather than fixing your partner. The lack of any research backing means you're trusting one person's accumulated life wisdom, which may or may not match your own situation. Solid for a quick refresh on relationship basics, but seasoned readers will find little they haven't heard before.
