Why we love
The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love
Book • 2004
In this book, Helen Fisher uses fMRI brain scanning to investigate the brain circuitry of romantic love, arguing that it is a primary mating drive hardwired into our brains by millions of years of evolution.
Fisher discusses romantic love among peoples around the world, the activation of brain regions associated with intense addiction when in love, and the evolution of love.
She also explores other primary mating drives such as lust and attachment, and the future of romantic love in the digital age.
