FREE: Love or Perish by Smiley Blanton, M.D.

The listing, Love or Perish by Smiley Blanton, M.D. has ended.

Old paperback copy (1956 copyright), yellowing pages, but all in tact. Name written on inside. Dr. Blanton wrote this book for the thousands of people who face a critical decision every day of their lives - at work or at play, in youth or in old age - a decision which has proved can lead to complete self fufillment or a life of agony. For all, it is the decision between a new, rich, exciting life and the insiduous, slow, living death that strikes at so many of us between the hours of dawn and twilight.

He has been able to distill a full career of psychiatric practice and successful guidance into a book for people of all kinds, everywhere. In simple, direct language he has shown how love is the essential ingredient, that binds us together and makes our every act a new, rich, and exciting experience.

Without love - in every form - the collapse of life begins. From the simple drudgery of getting up in the morning to the almost incredible disasters that lead into death itself, there is clear evidence that no man or woman can hope to survive in a life guided by hatred. The alternatives are, indeed, "Love or Perish."

"For without love we will lose the will to live. Our mental and physical vitality is impaired, our resistance is lowered, and we succumb to illnesses that often prove fatal. We may escape actual death, but what remains is a meager and barren existence, emotionally so impoverished that we can only be called half alive."

Dr Blanton takes us on a long journey through marriage, our first children, the ways we earn our living, into the "middle years and beyond." As the crowning achievement of a distinguished career, he has written a guide to life which cannot help but leave a deep and revealing impression. His intention was a single one - to give every man and woman who reads this book a chance for the happiness that can be theirs.
