What is love? It's more scientific than you think.

Through 10 illuminating lectures, Dr. Wind Goodfriend surveys the biology of interpersonal attraction, sexual preference and desire, and conflict resolution. You'll look at a variety of romantic notions, common myths, and love stereotypes through the lens of science in order to break them down and better set expectations when it comes to keeping a long-term relationship happy and healthy. You'll apply biology, psychology, and anthropology to that "spark" we feel when we are attracted to someone, to better understand what that feeling is.

The mystery of love meets the power of science. And you'll never fall in love again - in quite the same way.

This is fantastically written. Goodfriend is clearly an expert on the topic. My only issue was getting used to her voice, there was something about her pronunciation and emphasis that got on my nerves at first. But this is incredibly superficial and subjective, I recommend this book to anyone who likes psychology. I’d love to have her as a professor.
