Description

The number one New York Times best seller.

A hilarious, thoughtful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures and perils of modern romance from Aziz Ansari, the star of Master of None and one of this generation’s sharpest comedic voices.

At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated?

Some of our problems are unique to our time. “Why did this guy just text me an emoji of a pizza?”, “Should I go out with this girl even though she listed Combos as one of her favorite snack foods? Combos?!”, “My girlfriend just got a message from some dude named Nathan. Who’s Nathan? Did he just send her a photo of his penis? Should I check just to be sure?”.

But the transformation of our romantic lives can’t be explained by technology alone. In a short period of time, the whole culture of finding love has changed dramatically. A few decades ago, people would find a decent person who lived in their neighborhood. Their families would meet and, after deciding neither party seemed like a murderer, they would get married and soon have a kid, all by the time they were 24. Today, people marry later than ever and spend years of their lives on a quest to find the perfect person, a soul mate.

For years, Aziz Ansari has been aiming his comic insight at modern romance, but for Modern Romance, the book, he decided he needed to take things to another level. He teamed up with NYU sociologist Eric Klinenberg and designed a massive research project, including hundreds of interviews and focus groups conducted everywhere from Tokyo to Buenos Aires to Wichita. They analyzed behavioral data and surveys and created their own online research forum on Reddit, which drew thousands of messages. They enlisted the world’s leading social scientists, including Andrew Cherlin, Eli Finkel, Helen Fisher, Sheena Iyengar, Barry Schwartz, Sherry Turkle, and Robb Willer. The result is unlike any social science or humor book we’ve seen before.

In Modern Romance, Ansari combines his irreverent humor with cutting-edge social science to give us an unforgettable tour of our new romantic world.

A Standing Ovation

A standing ovation for Aziz. He made the audio an absolute joy to listen and follow along in the book. I loved how he was able to use his star power to work with the top researchers. It really showed how much work he himself put into this book. Coming from someone that has experienced the 'modern romance'. This book can really help with self confidence and how to approach your next possible relationship!

Funny and informative

I loved that Aziz took an anthropological approach to this novel and really took the time and effort to do research and share information and findings with the readers. I felt like I was learning and laughing throughout the book, which made it that much more enjoyable alongside the various stories and case studies. Aziz also added many extra bits and discussions for the audiobook readers, which was a great treat! #Audible1

Credit to Aziz for doing this project

The book did not meet my expectations but maybe my expectations are too high for a topic like this. I wanted to give it 3 stars but I added one more because of the honesty and use of science instead of prrsenting a cult-like self-fulfilling prophecy like many books in this area.

Some dialoges in accents are a bit annoying but that's a personal taste.
