U ljubavi i bez nje

The book "In Love and Without It" by prominent Croatian psychologist and retired university professor Mirjana Krizmanić approaches one of the most important human needs - the need for closeness, love and partnership, but also the art of living alone. In a recognizable professional, yet extremely warm, accessible and humorous style, the author demystifies numerous contemporary myths about love and partner relationships. Through a series of real-life examples and psychological advice, Krizmanić helps readers recognize their own desires, overcome fears of emotional attachment or rejection, and build healthy, mature and equal relationships based on mutual respect.

The special value of the work lies in its encouraging view of single life. The author's advice breaks down prejudices against those who live alone, proving that solitude does not have to mean loneliness, but can be an opportunity for deep personal fulfillment, growth and self-knowledge. Literally designed as an accessible guide to self-help and personal development, this book offers much-needed comfort and practical tools to all those seeking love, as well as to those who want to learn how to live peacefully and joyfully — with themselves and in harmony with their choices.
