THE ART OF WRITING LOVE SONGS
A Book Every Human Being Should Be Forced to Read
As a guy with a graduate degree in psychology from Harvard and published scientific research, and as a songwriter affiliated with the Nashville Songwriters Association (and an author too) I picked up this book for some “tips.”
But then, I found myself absolutely blown away. This is a book every human being in the world should be forced to read, songwriter or not.
The insights into love, self-esteem, psychology, personal growth and personal development, the mystery of life, staying true to yourself–and becoming happier though writing and self analysis–are remarkable.
What Pamela shows is a path to learning how to love more deeply–to love others more deeply, to love yourself more deeply, and to be loved more deeply by others in return.
Using this information to write great love songs (as Pamela has) is just icing on the cake. But even if you don’t write songs, this book might change your whole life–its lessons on setting boundaries, nurturing your inner strengths, staying true to yourself and experiencing true joy and a sense of triumph in life simply blew me away. And I read a lot of books. Thousands.
This will remain forever as one of my favorite books of all time. I highly recommend this slender, brilliant and perhaps divinely inspired volume. It definitely gave me goose bumps–perhaps from on high.
If you are a songwriter and you don’t read this book, you will miss a lot of important information that could land you on the charts.
But even if you are simply a human being, you might find yourself living a life with a lot more love in it, if you buy this remarkable little book and spend an afternoon, or a month, or a year with it–letting it sink it to every cell of your brain and every fiber of your soul.
