Larry Young - The Chemistry between Us

How much control do we have over love? Much less than we like to think. All that mystery, all that poetry, all those complex behaviors surrounding human bonding leading to the most life-changing decisions well ever make are unconsciously driven by a few molecules in our brains. How does love begin? How can two strangers come to the conclusion that it would not only be pleasant to share their lives but that they must share them? How can a man say he loves his wife and yet still cheat on her? Why do others stay in relationships even after the ro*mance fades? How is it possible to fall in love with the wrong person? How do people come to have a type? Physical attraction, jealousy, infidelity, mother-infant bondingall the behaviors that so often leave us befuddledare now being teased out of the fog of mystery thanks to todays social neuroscience. Larry Young, one of the worlds leading experts in the field, and journalist Brian Alexander explain how those findings apply to you. Drawing on real human stories and research from labs around the world, The Chemistry between Us is a bold attempt to create a grand unified theory of love. Some of the mind-blowing insights include: Love can get such a grip on us because it is, literally, an addiction. To a woman falling in love, a man is like her baby. Why its false to say society makes gender, and how its possible to have the body of one gender and the brain of another. Why some people are more likely to cheat than others. Why we sometimes truly cant resist temptation.Young and Alexander place their revelations into historical, political, and social contexts. In the process, they touch on everything from gay marriage to why single-mother households might not be good for society. The Chemistry between Us offers powerful in*sights into love, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and family life that will prove to be enlightening, controversial, and thought provoking.
