Why We Love: The New Science Behind Our Closest Relationships

Love is a complex and multifaceted experience that has puzzled scientists, philosophers, and poets for centuries.

In this groundbreaking book, Anna Manchin explores the ever-elusive science of love, delving into its biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions.

Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including evolutionary anthropology, neuroscience, sociology, and philosophy, Manchin offers a comprehensive and inclusive understanding of love that considers friendship, family, polyamory, chosen families, queer love, and even the love we feel for pets, celebrities, and deities. While acknowledging love's darker consequences, such as its addictive nature and potential for manipulation and coercion, Manchin argues that love is ultimately the center of what makes us human.

With growing evidence showing that the quality and nature of our relationships are the most significant factor in our life satisfaction, happiness, physical and mental health, Manchin's book is an argument for reinvigorating our awe at the complexities and intricacies of the human heart. Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of love or simply want to be swept away by a beautifully written exploration of this most fundamental human experience, Manchin's book is sure to captivate and inspire.
