The Cult of Monogamy: How It's Destroying Our Relationships and Humanity--And the Daring Solution to Save Us All (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The Cult of Monogamy dares to lift the veil on one of our culture's most cherished institutions and reveal how our unquestioned devotion to monogamy has shaped the emotional confusion, sexual dissatisfaction, and relational dysfunction of modern life.

Far from being simply a book about marriage or fidelity, this is a book about the hidden architecture of human sexuality, desire, and longing. It asks the questions few are brave enough to ask: Were we ever meant to love the way we have been told to love? Why do desire, betrayal, resentment, and disconnection so often creep into even the most well-intentioned unions? And what happens when an institution becomes so idealized that no one is allowed to tell the truth about its costs?

For anyone seeking to understand the deeper dynamics of male and female sexuality, The Cult of Monogamy goes to the root of why couples struggle and what can actually be done about it. But unlike most books on relationships, it does not remain confined to psychological insight alone. Drawing from evolutionary biology, anthropology, genetics, sociology, and history, it traces the origins of our intimate patterns back to the story of our species itself.

This book is at once an unflinching examination of the private tensions inside intimate relationships and a sweeping inquiry into the history of our civilization and human nature. Provocative, illuminating, and sure to spark fierce conversation, The Cult of Monogamy invites us not merely to repair our relationships, but to radically reconsider the myths upon which we have built them.
