Summary
Sigit Purwadi's
Library - THE SCHOOL OF LIFE IS DEDICATED TO
EXPLORING LIFE'S BIG QUESTIONS IN HIGHLY-PORTABLE PAPERBACKS,
FEATURING FRENCH FLAPS AND DECKLE EDGES, THAT THE NEW YORK
TIMES CALLS "DAMNABLY CUTE." WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, BUT
WE WILL DIRECT YOU TOWARDS A VARIETY OF USEFUL IDEAS THAT ARE
GUARANTEED TO STIMULATE, PROVOKE, AND CONSOLE. We don't think
too much about sex; we're merely thinking about it in the wrong
way. So asserts Alain de Botton in How to Think More About Sex,
a rigorous and supremely honest book designed to help us
navigate the intimate and exciting---yet often confusing and
difficult---experience that is sex. Few of us tend to feel
we're entirely normal when it comes to sex, and what we're
supposed to be feeling rarely matches up with the reality. This
book argues that twenty-first-century sex is ultimately fated
to be a balancing act between love and desire, and adventure
and commitment. Covering topics that include lust, fetishism,
adultery, and pornography, Alain de Botton frankly articulates
the dilemmas of modern sexuality, offering insights and
consolation to help us think more deeply and wisely about the
sex we are, or aren't, having.
