A smart, entertaining, and eye-opening look at the
science of love.
Relationships should be so
simple. You meet someone. You fall in love. If all goes
well, that person falls in love with you. You live happily
every after.
As Andrew Trees reveals in Decoding
Love, this “romantic storyline” has shaped our thinking
about relationships for centuries. But the fairy tale is
deeply flawed. Researchers today are making shocking
discoveries about how and why we choose the people we
love.
Drawing from the latest studies in economics,
brain science, game theory, evolutionary psychology, and
other fields, Decoding Love takes on a topic we all
think we understand—how we fall in love—and illustrates that
most of our assumptions are wrong. Along the way, Andrew
Trees offers surprising new insights into the nature of
attraction and desire as well as an intimate look at the
strange intersection of romance and the modern world of
dating. Throughout, Decoding Love reveals the
frequently bizarre scientific findings about human
attraction from the powerful influence of smell to a
mathematical theory that one must date twelve people before
happening upon Mr. or Ms. Right. Everything from a genetic
marker for infidelity to the way the pill can sway a woman’s
choice of her partner is explored in this astonishing and
thoroughly amusing account of what goes into determining why
one person falls in love with another.
Page-turning,
thought-provoking, and sparkling with wit, Decoding
Love is an uncommon look at that most common of human
pursuits: falling in love.
