Early excerpts and reviews!

Readers who would like to know more about "Love Illuminated" will find excerpts in the February issues of Good Housekeeping and Harper's Bazaar, which hit newsstands in mid-January. The excerpts are mostly about me and my wife, Cathi, because those could be shaped into coherent essays, but rest assured the book is not some sort of memoir of my own marriage!

Quotes by Daniel Jones  (?)

“I would explain that human love is a combination of three emotions or impulses: desire, vulnerability, and bravery. Desire makes one feel vulnerable, which then requires one to be brave.”
Daniel Jones, Modern Love, Revised and Updated: True Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption

“Because real love, once blossomed, never disappears. It may get lost with a piece of paper, or transform into art, books, or children, or trigger another couple’s union while failing to cement your own.
But it’s always there, lying in wait for a ray of sun, pushing through thawing soil, insisting upon its rightful existence in our hearts and on earth.”
Daniel Jones, Modern Love: True Stories of Love, Loss, and Redemption
tags: love

“Ghosting is the most cowardly way to end a relationship,” I once said to a male friend in a room with a guy who had ghosted me years before.”

“Most often, couples who get together after months or years of online infatuation enact a twenty-first-century version of Icarus flying too close to the sun with his waxen wings: the real-life exposure quickly melts the fiber-optic cable that was holding the couple aloft, and they plummet into the sea, where they tend to flail about for a while, trying to rescue their former magic.”
Daniel Jones, Love Illuminated: Exploring Life's Most Mystifying Subject
