Replay: Julie Lythcott-Haims shares Five Things She's Learned about Making Love Work
Check out the first five minutes of her recent class.
“Why Love? Because love is essential to our wellness and longevity but often eludes us. Because we see love in movies and television and novels and memoirs but we often have trouble translating someone else’s depiction of love into actual practice in our minds, hearts, homes and lives. I am interested in the real deal and in all of us having it.”
