This Is Your Brain on Love: Why Him? Why Her?

Love is no longer blind, thanks to pioneering scientific research. Following her unique study of 40,000 men and women, Helen Fisher, one of the world's leading experts on romantic love, has identified four broad personality types, each governed by different chemical systems in the brain. Fisher explains each type, shows you how to identify your own type, and helps you use nature's chemistry to find and keep your life partner. Book signing to follow.
