About this listen
The best-selling author of Hold Me Tight presents a revolutionary new understanding of why and how we love, based on cutting-edge research.
Every day, we hear of relationships failing and questions of whether humans are meant to be monogamous. Love Sense presents new scientific evidence that tells us that humans are meant to mate for life. Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our "love sense" - our ability to develop long-lasting relationships.
Love Sense covers the three stages of a relationship and how to best weather them; the intelligence of emotions and the logic of love; the physical and psychological benefits of secure love; and much more. Based on groundbreaking research, Love Sense will change the way we think about love.

How we fight predicts the future of our relationships. Most of us blunder into conflict without knowing what we are really fighting about and then quickly become overwhelmed by physiological responses we can’t control and emotions we don’t anticipate. The truth is the happiest and most successful couples fight—all the time. Conflict is human, and necessary.

Until now, we've been taught that forgiveness is good for us and that good people forgive. Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring proposes a radical, life-affirming alternative that lets us overcome the corrosive effects of hate and get on with our lives—without forgiving. She also offers a powerful and unconventional model for earning genuine forgiveness—one that asks as much of the offender as it does of the hurt party.

Hormonal. We all know what it means when we hear it - and feel it. While hormonal shifts are natural throughout women’s lives, too many experience distressing period symptoms, struggle daily with PCOS, endometriosis, a fertility challenge, pain, low sex drive, sleep problems, acne, bloating, hot flashes, and more - all due to hormone-related problems. And too many are unable to get the answers they’re really seeking from their doctors.

Sara suffered a debilitating fear of asserting herself. Spencer experienced crippling social anxiety. Bonnie was shut down, disconnected from her feelings. These patients all came to psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel seeking treatment for depression, but in fact none of them were chemically depressed. Rather, Jacobs Hendel found that they’d all experienced traumas in their youth that caused them to put up emotional defenses that masqueraded as symptoms of depression. Jacobs Hendel led these patients and others toward lives newly capable of joy and fulfillment....

Wonderful advice/book based on research and science, narrated by the master herself Dr. Sue Johnson, whose voice and sense of humour is most endearing.
The book is always a fingertip away to listen to it again, even though I also own the hard copy.

A requirement for anyone socially conscious
This book will challenge a lot of the ways we think in regards to not only relationships, but society as a whole. The social animal that is the ’modern human’ is going through a sort of maladaptive transition; where we advance with technology at a rapid rate, but is leaving us ostensibly left feeling lost from each other. If you want to grow beyond this negative inheritance we ‘modern humans’ are given, read this book, and watch yourself gain some amazing perspectives!!

The most painful book I’ve ever listened too
This is hands down the most painful audio book I’ve sat through
No person under 75 would be able to sit through this, also no millennials or IGens would want to listen to this book.
There isn’t a single male I know who would listen to this and it not be like nails on a chalk board
This women doesn’t speak in a way to keep listeners interested and her story’s sound like something you’re great grandmother would tell you about her and her husband
This is not relatable to 2020 marriages and real life
I like the point she’s trying to get across but failed to keep me interested
Was really hoping to enjoy this!
