Publisher Description
The bestselling author of Hold Me Tight presents a revolutionary new understanding of why and how we love, based on cutting-edge research.
Every day, we hear of relationships failing and questions of whether humans are meant to be monogamous. Love Sense presents new scientific evidence that tells us that humans are meant to mate for life. Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our "love sense" -- our ability to develop long-lasting relationships.
Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but actually an ordered and wise recipe for survival. Love Sense covers the three stages of a relationship and how to best weather them; the intelligence of emotions and the logic of love; the physical and psychological benefits of secure love; and much more. Based on groundbreaking research, Love Sense will change the way we think about love.

“SueJohnson’s slow-paced narration doesn’t give her thoughtful book the personalityor verve it deserves. But her voice, with its British accent and academic tone, sounds kind and genuine, and her writing is top-notch, so it’s easy toadjust to her narrative style. Her book reveals a poet’s grasp of the historyof romantic love, especially its largely utilitarian foundations and theunrealistic expectations we moderns have regarding our romantic partnerships.Then, focusing on what works for most people and what science has discovered,she explains the core concepts of attachment, emotional security, sexualattraction, and mature love paradigms. The audio is a helpful reminder of whyself-knowledge, persistent communication, and the ability to navigatedifferences are essential for romantic attachments to remain viable.”
