This Is Your Brain on Sex: The Science Behind the Search for Love What is the nature of love?
 
This groundbreaking, fascinating book delves into the brain science of sex, romance, and relationships - including some experiments the author conducted on herself and in her own life. What is the neurobiology behind why we fall in love with some people, lust after others, and have no interest in yet others? Is monogamy good for humans? What's the deal with the thin line between love and hate? Why do we fall for people who are bad for us (and sometimes don't even match what we're looking for in a mate)? Tons of answers and even more questions are raised in this fun, edgy romp by a neuroscience reporter and adventurous mom.
