A Review - 40 Rules of Love


If you enjoy reading about how to improve yourself or how to be better in life and you want a great read you can’t beat 40 Rules of Love, Are you thinking about love now? Yes, kind of? I mean how to love yourself. 40 Rules of Love was written by Elif shafak in 2010 and one of the things I love about it is how she goes back to the 13th century.

The main setting is in Baghdad and it compares two lives, The first one is a sad women in her 40s, and it talks about her married life with her children and her successful husband, The other one is set in the13th century and talks about a happy life a between husband and his wife and how he became a successful writer.

The best thing about it is when the women finished the book she learned lots of things about life, the other thing I love is when the man talks and gives lots of advice about his life with his wife for instance, If someone wants to change the way that people treat him, he must first change the way that he treats himself.

40 Rules of Love is a hugely entertaining read and I really recommend it if you want to improve yourself, It’s a little bit complicated but it’s perfect if you like a deep read.
