  How Romanticism Destroyed Love 27.09.2026 8min

  Why There Is No 'Happily Ever After' 27.09.2026 8min

  We long to reach a state where we can at last be happy and calm forever. But so long as we are alive, stability will always elude us for reasons we would do well to understand and accept with grace. We haven't failed if we can't reach a 'happily ever after'; we're simply very human. Enjoying our Youtube videos?

  How to Tell If You're Terrified of Closeness 27.09.2026 5min

  Sometimes we may end up in a couple where we spend a lot of time complaining - to concerned friends and family - that the other person is evidently and committedly ‘afraid of intimacy.’ They don’t often talk of their emotions; they may find it hard to be physically cosy; they don’t cry so often.

  How To Be A Good Listener 27.09.2026 10min

Of course, we can know many things about them: how charming they can be, how witty and entertaining they are, what accomplished friends or parents they make. But we aren’t, for that matter, ever being shown the complete picture – for a fundamental reason: they still have a lot to lose.

It just grows convinced that it now hates mummy, that little brother should die, that the button falling off the cardigan is a catastrophe, that its self-respect depends on being allowed to throw the bread knife out of the window sharp end first. And it’s the role of the parent to notice what is being overlooked – and say very gently but with deep conviction: Enough, we need to get you to bed, fast. We do ourselves no such service.

The nearer one gets to the top, the closer one’s workstation will approximate to this supposed ideal: in tribute to the quality of thinking that, ideally, one would do there.

It threatens to transform what should be an unconscious mystery into a generic, programmatic manoeuvre. It threatens to rob us of free will – and turn us into marionettes. And yet, the question of how to make someone fall in love with you need not feel cynical or coercive. It may not violate our integrity to observe that when people do feel drawn to one another, certain factors are – to a remarkable extent – reliably present.
