Sometimes All You Need Is Love; sometimes Love Is a Battlefield. Whether Love Hurts, Bites, Will Keep Us Together, Will Tear Us Apart, or Is a Four-Letter Word, it seems we Want To Know What Love Is.
Loveโin both the abstract and the up-close-and-personalโhas always provided limitless inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians, but scientists are just as fascinated by these affairs of the heart, though they seldom sing about it. In Love, Sex, and Science, our editors take a step back, analyzing romance using tools like fMRI studies instead of a paint brush or guitar. The writers examine a variety of topics, starting with the perceived sex differences between men and women discussed in Section 1โare we really as different as Mars and Venus?
We also donโt shy away from darker aspects of love, such as the psychology of prostitution and sex appeal of narcissists, because to ignore these aspects of love is to trivialize it. Besides, loveโs paradoxes are one of the reasons why it is the topic for cultural discourse. As Pascal said, โThe heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.โ Hopefully this audiobook will change the โnothingโ to โat least something.โ๏ปฟ
