What is Love in the Age of Matching about?

It is a compass for love in the age of dating apps. Drawing on Fromm, Nietzsche and attachment science, it helps readers separate inherited desires from their own, see through infinite choice and tell chemistry from compatibility.

What the book is about

Your grandmother had three options and loved for a lifetime. You have thousands, and not the energy to type one coffee invitation. The problem is not you, but the solution is.

The book is a compass for hearts lost in the age of infinite options, in three parts: the mirror, the labyrinth and the road. From Fromm to Nietzsche, from attachment science to artificial intimacy, it explains why loving has become so hard and what a person can still do about it.

It is a bedside book that breaks the clichés, refusing to console and insisting on being useful.

  2. 02

    The illusion of infinite choice

    See through endless options and the shop-window selves people present on dating apps.

  3. 03

    Chemistry vs. compatibility

    Tell a spark from a match that lasts, and treat becoming the right person as the choice that invites luck in.
