The Scientific American book of love, sex and the brain: the neuroscience of how, when, why, and who we love
Drawing on the latest neuroscience, the author explores why and how we are born to love-how we’re hardwired to crave the companionship of others, and how very badly things can go without love. Among the findings: parental love makes our brain bigger, sex and orgasm make it healthier, social isolation makes it miserable-and although the craving for romantic love can be described as an addiction, friendship may actually be the most important loving relationship of your life.
