Psychologist Sol Gordon’s “How Can You Tell If You’re Really In Love?” (Adams Media Corp., $7.95) warns that romantic movies and novels often give people the wrong image of love. The unrealistic portrayals may even cause them to feel depressed because they feel unable to achieve a similar rewarding experience.
Gordon’s book examines what “love” means, then delves into how it applies to relationships. It examines such issues as how teens can decipher if they’re in love (or not), how singles can figure out who is right for them, what married couples should weigh when considering whether to divorce or stick it out, and what couples who have split should examine if they feel regrets about ending the relationship.
