Who loves us? And why? Is love really a mystery, or can neuroscience offer some answers to these age-old questions?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn her third enthralling book about the brain, Judith Horstman takes us on a lively tour of our most important sex and love organ and the whole smorgasbord of our many kinds of love-from the bonding of parent and child to the passion of erotic love, the affectionate love of companionship, the role of animals in our lives, and the love of God.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the latest neuroscience, she 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on recent studies and articles culled from the prestigious \u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eScientific American Mind\u003c\/i\u003e magazines, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e Scientific American \u003ci\u003eBook of Love, Sex, and the Brain\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating look at how the brain controls our loving relationships, most intimate moments, and our deep and basic need for connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120117661936,"sku":"9781118109533","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118109533_p0.jpg?v=1763692607","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118109533","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
