Book club
Read Homo Amans with other people
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
- The contradiction. The introduction, plus Chapter 1.
- A misunderstanding and two models. Chapters 2 and 3.
- What he calls love, and what he fears. Chapters 4 and 5.
- Pulling away, status and ego. Chapters 6 and 7.
- What she calls love, and what she fears. Chapters 8 and 9.
- Testing and connection. Chapters 10 and 11.
- The clash and the loop. Chapters 12 and 13.
- 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.
