LoveReading Says
Created by the School of Life, How Ready Are You For Love? takes relationship questionnaires to greater psychological depths while retaining the vibe of a personality quiz.
Acknowledging the complexity of romantic attachments, this cute, compact-format trove is framed by the belief that “the blame for most of what goes wrong in our loves can be traced back to… a lack of self-knowledge”, and the view that “love is a skill, not an emotion”. As a result, the 43 questions posed invite readers to ponder truths about themselves — truths that have an impact on romantic relationships.
The questions get to the heart of loving styles, strengths and weakness, and deep-set needs and desires, with each accompanied by a detailed essay that unpacks the question and readers' responses, thereby shining a light on how we behave in relationships and — ultimately — supporting quizzers’ quests to find more fulfilling future relationships.
Rounded off with a detailed analysis of results, How Ready Are You For Love? is a practical toolkit for living your best relationship life.

How Ready Are You For Love? Synopsis
Most questionnaires are just a bit of fun, but this one sets out to be both entertaining and useful. It offers us nothing less than a guide to the comforting and supportive relationships we long for.
With online apps taking over the dating game, it has never been more crucial to know the rules.
Through a series of pertinent questions, it reveals our distinctive style of loving, what our strengths and weaknesses are with partners, and how we might secure genuine fulfilment. As we work through the questionnaire and its accompanying essays, we discover the many reasons why relationships go wrong, and how they might do so less often in the future. The book considers the role of self-hatred, the influence of childhood, the importance of vulnerability, the appeal of unavailable people, and the best ways to overcome patterns of self-doubt and unhealthy attachment.
Our minds are such confusing places, even the most thoughtful among us can fail to know central things about how we behave in relationships. This questionnaire will help us to understand ourselves more clearly and so set us free to discover the love we deserve.
