About This Book
The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love
"If you want flashes and particular experiences of romantic love, read novels.
If you want to understand this central quality of human nature to its roots,
read Why We Love."
--Edward O. Wilson
In Why We Love, renowned anthropologist Helen Fisher offers a new map of the
phenomenon of love?from its origins in the brain to the thrilling havoc it
creates in our bodies and behavior. Working with a team of scientists to scan
the brains of people who had just fallen madly in love, Fisher proved what
psychologists had until recently only suspected: when you fall in love, specific
areas of the brain "light up" with increased blood flow. This sweeping new book
uses this data to argue that romantic passion is hardwired into our brains by
millions of years of evolution. It is not an emotion; it is a drive as powerful
as hunger.
Provocative, enlightening, engaging, and persuasive, Why We Love offers radical
new answers to age-old questions: what love is, who we love, and how to keep
love alive.
