Quiet Love (& Growing It)
Matthew Hess

Quiet Love (& Growing It)

Format

In a world where love is often seen as a magical, predestined event or a grand gesture, many find themselves facing unrealistic expectations and shallow connections. Hess challenges these notions by introducing the concept of “quiet love”—a simple, observant, and action-based approach to nurturing relationships. Hess explains how love is not just a feeling or attraction but a series of selfless actions that improve the life of someone you care about. He debunks the myth of “love at first sight” and emphasizes the importance of growth and effort in sustaining a healthy, long-lasting relationship.

Audiobook narrated by Myles Catania.

I wasn't really expecting to like this book. The cover didn't grab me, and as a therapist, I'm dubious about books written about relationships that aren't written by professionals. BUT, I absolutely loved this book!! In fact, I'm thinking about buying it for both of my young adult sons. Basically the author gives 14 "rules" for having a happy relationship. Of course, you could find an entire book on any one of these rules, if you want to delve further into conflict, communication, or whatever. But honestly, I can't think of anything I would want a client to know about healthy relationships that ISN'T in this book! If you want a great, concise, easy to read book about the fundamental building blocks of having a successful and loving relationship, this is your book.

This isn’t just another book about gimmicks or seduction tactics to make someone fall in love with you. Instead, Hess focuses on the deeper aspects of love, how it evolves beyond initial lust and attraction, and how it can grow stronger despite the inevitable challenges. His honest and straightforward approach reveals that love is not just about fiery passion, it’s about the quiet and consistent effort that makes a relationship flourish over time.
