Description
A General Theory of Love by Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini, and Richard Lannon This book offers a profound exploration of the complexities of love and its essential role in human well-being. Drawing on the latest scientific research, the authors tackle the difficult task of reconciling artistic and philosophical understandings of the human heart with recent discoveries about the primitive functions of the human brain. Their work reveals that our nervous systems are not self-contained, but are instead linked to those of the people close to us, shaping our brains, emotions, and sense of self. The authors explain how relationships function, how parents influence their child's development, and how psychotherapy works, shedding light on the essential emotional laws that govern human intimacy. Through its rare passion and eloquence, A General Theory of Love will change the way you think about human relationships, offering a fresh and nuanced understanding of the complexities of love and its profound impact on our lives.
