Why We Love
by Helen Fisher
Overview
Isn't it funny? Love is one of the most crucial parts of a happy life, yet we learn nothing about it in school, and aren't taught anything about it in college (unless you study biology or anthropology, maybe). Love books don't perform nearly as well as other self-help books.
Today, we'll change that. You'll learn something from the most referenced scholar in the love department. Her name is Dr. Helen Fisher and she's been researching what makes us fall in and out of love for 40+ years.
Why We Love explains the most complex thing in the world from a biological, historical, evolutionary and of course practical standpoint, making it one of the prime books on love. Dying for some dopamine?
