It's rare that anyone working the field of psychology impresses me. Most of them are pursuing blatantly silly nonsense, trying to prove how smart they are. Once in awhile, I run across someone who really is smart about that stuff. What's really smart is articulating the things we really need to pull into our conscious awareness. Anyone who can do that is some kind of genius. Let me recommend this one video: Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person. It's about 22 minutes with Alain de Botton articulating things I've known for a long time in my heart about the way love works. No, it's not perfect, but he does a marvelous job of setting out the many flaws of our culture.

Be warned: He speaks quickly and you'll need to pay attention to keep up. There's a lot of biblical truth in it.
