Summary

From the world's foremost neuroscientist of romantic love comes the untold story of what happens in our brains when we are in love.

Dr Stephanie Cacioppo shares revelatory insights into how we fall in love, and why; what makes love last; and how we process love lost—all grounded in cutting-edge findings in brain chemistry and behavioural science. You will learn how to make a closer bond in your relationship, how to make sure the spark isn't lost, how to tell the difference between lust and love, and how to find a path beyond heartbreak or bereavement.

Wired for Love is not just a science story, but also a love story. At thirty-seven, Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo was content to be single. She was fulfilled by her work on the neuroscience of romantic love; how finding and growing with a partner literally reshapes our brains. That was, until she met the foremost neuroscientist of loneliness. A whirlwind romance led to marriage, to sharing an office at the University of Chicago. After seven years of being inseparable at work and home, she lost her beloved husband following a devastating battle with cancer.

This moving personal story is woven through the book, from astonishment, to unbreakable bond, to grief and healing. Her experience and her work enrich each other, creating a singular blend of science, lyricism and expert tips that are essential listening for anyone looking for connection.

Critic reviews

"This meditation on love is deep in every sense: in scientific richness, in human insight, and in moving personal involvement." (Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works)

"When John and Steph met it was electric, consuming, forever. One might even say 'wacky' from the start. But then their love grew to be inseparable, collaborative, joyous and infinitely inventive. And while their scholarship and devotion to science hit new levels, it was their bond in love that was a joy to know. This book captures that joy." (Michael Gazzaniga, author of The Consciousness Instinct)

No use what so ever

If you're hoping this book will give you pointers on how to deal with grief and start living happily again forget it . There's not that much information on how to sustain and nourish love either.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
