Types of Love: The 8 types of Greek Love 6106

This short mentoring hand-drawn "doodling" video is intended for Green Elephant Coachees who are learning about the periodic table of conscious communication. Here we cover the 8 different labels we use to describe more accurately different types of human connection, to help express needs, check assumptions and clarify intentions in conversations.

Thank you for the clear and rapid explanation.
I will use this.

In Irish Gaelic culture, enemy chieftains used to send their infant sons to be raised by their adversary, presumably to develop Storge, in an effort to prevent conflict in later generations.

5:55 excellent thank you. Some of these are knew from my biblical studies but I named my oldest son‘s middle name is Agape.

This makes my little poet hearts happy.

Great video my man. Breaks it down cogently, sticks to the facts as they are, plain and simple with no like, parade/carnival/circus acts and activities floating around in the background you gotta wade through like on most videos on here.

Just 1, 2, 3, … 8, 9, done. Finito. Viola. I’m

Well done 👍🏼

Thank you for this! Just got into this whole topic and your video proves to be a good starting point!

This is a very useful and interesting video even if there is some disagreement about origins. Love is such an ambiguous word in English and the ancients were really onto something when they broke it down like this, these are far more useful concepts than the single word.

Thank you, it's a very clear and straightforward description.

Very nice. I never saw this presented in any coaching, only in philosophy :-) It's so true that it makes life simplier.
When you have a minute, I'm interested to read your ideas about this: the Greeks have developed such a great perception about love (and so many other things), their ideal was extremely high in many ways, so how come they went all for wars, greed and destruction of their civilisation? And how can we today rely on concepts that are super deep and beautiful but that brought them to destruction? What is it with human nature that cannot resist to greed, evil, destruction, etc.? This I would like to know because it's draining to see humans repeating again and again the same mistakes, no? (I'm obviously including myself here)
What could be great is to elaborate some kind of new vocabulary adapted to our times...

Great video!! Seriously, your explanation brought me a lot of peace because I feel I have a better understanding of how I feel in my current relationship and my previous ones. Just a quick question though... is there a fine line between "mania" and "agape"? Couldn't either bring harm to oneself?

[robertbenedek]

Mania= possesive love??
Or simply: possession/obsession?

Storge =>habitual love,
blood related love? A kind of instinct?

Pragma: love based on/rooted in reason/reasoning?

I was writing these words down. Could you spell #7 clearly. I’m on an iPhone but it refuses to enlarge. (Changes going on). Thank you dearly for I only knew 5 interpretations.

Ludus (not -os) is Latin, not Greek. These categories come from modern psychology (Sternberg, Lee) and have nothing to do with the Greeks, as the video's title seems to imply. Thanks.
