The Science of Happily Ever After: What Really Matters in the Quest for Enduring Love by Ty Tashiro

2.0

2.3 - I think this had potential, and it is a pretty decent accumulation of romantic studies, but I think the overall issue I have is that it is TOO simplistic, to the extent it's sort of just pointing out the obvious. Anything that's not a 'duh' moment is often so beyond normal human interaction or comprehension. no one is going to sit on the first date testing for neuroticism. no one is going to ask their friends to fill out a ranking survey after they meet their other half. it's just not practical. so while this is a great collection of studies - tho often oversimplified to the point that you almost forget correlation =/= causation - I think the idea this would ever be marketed as a self help book is just.....misguided.
