Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating,… door Helen Fisher
An interesting discussion on just how many of the emotions supposedly behind love, are in fact largely determined by our evolutionary animal nature and are often controlled by chemicals in our brain.
While I enjoyed reading Dr. Fisher's theories of romance, I can't say I'm entirely convinced. Parts of her argument read as rather circular, and the categories felt a little black and white at times. But her perspective certainly provides some food for thought, and I found the chapters targeting how we meet and choose those we love fascinating.
Intriguing book with a breakdown of multiple surveys, brain chemistry, and anatomy. Loses one star based on the promotion of ignoring others.
The book states you should ignore another to remove them from your thoughts. Yet also states that memories of a lover may never leave you but is reduced in time. As explained in the book, one of the main questions one may ask after a relationship has ended is what they did wrong. By endorsing others to ignore, the rejected may never receive that answer and can not move on.
The reason anger develops is from being ignored. Do not promote this. By talking things through you can identify differences, and reasons for relationship failure to easily move on.
I've had no interest in reigniting past relationships but human nature, the selfishness of others, and the common practice of ignoring instead of treating those with respect as people has driven me to reconsider life.
I appreciate the honesty in this book and the poor outlook of long term relationships due to human evolution has further decreased my view on mankind.… (meer)

This is woman who has loved and love and then seriously asked "why". It isa an academic research project on the fMRI assisted research into the neurology of loving. Compare it to Burnett's book: Happy Brain
