The 40 Rules of Love
**First Gathering: Love as Transformation**
Reading: **The Forty Rules of Love** by **Elif Shafak**
We begin Men, Meaning, and Madness with a novel that treats love not as sentiment, but as a force that disrupts, humbles, and reshapes the self.
The Forty Rules of Love explores love as discipline, surrender, and moral risk. It asks what happens when certainty breaks, when the ego is wounded, and when meaning is found not through control, but through transformation.
This gathering is for men interested in serious literature and honest inquiry into how love shapes character, responsibility, and the inner life.
Discussion will be guided by questions rather than summaries. The aim is depth, not debate.
Come having read the book or engaged with it seriously.
