Each session lists the chapters to read and four questions to talk through. It does not reproduce the text of the book: it starts from the chapter titles and from what each person recognizes in their own experience. Use it with a small group or a reading pair. It is material for running your own club, not a membership.

The 8 sessions

  1. The contradiction. The introduction, plus Chapter 1.
  2. A misunderstanding and two models. Chapters 2 and 3.
  3. What he calls love, and what he fears. Chapters 4 and 5.
  4. Pulling away, status and ego. Chapters 6 and 7.
  5. What she calls love, and what she fears. Chapters 8 and 9.
  6. Testing and connection. Chapters 10 and 11.
  7. The clash and the loop. Chapters 12 and 13.
  8. Attraction, choice and closing. Chapters 14 and 15, and the conclusion.

The guide is not therapy and does not replace it. If a conversation overwhelms you, seek support from a mental health professional.
