About this listen
This original and lucid account of the complexities of love and its essential role in human well-being draws on the latest scientific research. Three eminent psychiatrists tackle the difficult task of reconciling what artists and thinkers have known for thousands of years about the human heart with what has only recently been learned about the primitive functions of the human brain.
A General Theory of Love demonstrates that our nervous systems are not self-contained: from earliest childhood, our brains actually link with those of the people close to us, in a silent rhythm that alters the very structure of our brains, establishes life-long emotional patterns, and makes us, in large part, who we are. Explaining how relationships function, how parents shape their child's developing self, how psychotherapy really works, and how our society dangerously flouts essential emotional laws, this is a work of rare passion and eloquence that will forever change the way you think about human intimacy.

Amazing
One of the best books I’ve ever came across. Some parts are dense and difficult to understand, because it’s meant to be read, but also because I’m not part of the medical professions. Will have to read it multiple times and dissect it. Incredibly valuable.
The real self help books don’t indicate how useful they are in the title.

Very helpful!
My therapist recommended this book to me and I find it so insightful!! I found the narrator was hard to pay attention to, so I had to listen to it quickly. I found this book to be a crash course on all things attachment: psychologically and emotionally speaking.

Too bad wrong narrator was used
I'm sure Mr Sorensen is a great guy but his narrating style is difficult to enjoy. Almost each sentence ends with his voice going up as if asking it ... strange.
I was barely able to concentrate on the subject + too bad. I guess I'll try ti buy the book now and read it myself.
