amb3rlina's review against another edition
4.0
Fascinating book. The author studies and expounds upon the biological underpinnings of romantic love, lust, and attachment. Some of it made a lot of sense in a "I knew that but didn't fully articulate it to myself" way, and some of it was surprising and new. In the end I'm glad I read it, but I'm not sure if it made be believe in love more or less. Does understanding the mechanisms behind such a miracle make it more or less real?

Dos livros mais irritantes que eu já li. Odiei o paragrafo introdutório de cada capitulo, sempre com poemas e textos antigos. Dispensável. Não achei a escrita nada carismática, o que normalmente não me acontece em livros sobre psicologia.

Fisher gives a very complete view of love.
She has love quotes from virtually every culture, (inuits, aztecs, chinese, africa, maori, etc.), philosophers, and celebrities.
She compares human love with animal love to identify patterns and differentiate aspects of human love.
She also gives a review between different types of being in love: passion, luxury, emotional, etc.
She explains love in terms of neuroscience and its corresponding nuerotransmitters involved.
