"Is love about chemistry or do biology, evolution and psychology all have a part to play?

Is love about chemistry or do biology, evolution and psychology all have a part to play?

Love is one of the most complex and confusing emotions in the human experience. It consumes so much of our lives and yet we don't truly understand it - what it is on a biological, chemical and evolutionary level. This book takes you on a fascinating journey to explore the science of love, looking closely at the interplay between genes, hormones, emotions and relationships.

Discover everything you need to know about why you are attracted to certain people, the brain's role in your emotions, how to pick ""the one"" and how to preserve that love over time. Learn how to have better, healthier and more loving relationships by understanding the inner workings of love in your body."
