About this listen

What is love? It's more scientific than you think.

Through 10 illuminating lectures, Dr. Wind Goodfriend surveys the biology of interpersonal attraction, sexual preference and desire, and conflict resolution. You'll look at a variety of romantic notions, common myths, and love stereotypes through the lens of science in order to break them down and better set expectations when it comes to keeping a long-term relationship happy and healthy. You'll apply biology, psychology, and anthropology to that "spark" we feel when we are attracted to someone, to better understand what that feeling is.

The mystery of love meets the power of science. And you'll never fall in love again - in quite the same way.

Beautiful breakdown of what ‘love’ is

This is an excellent, rational look into what exactly love is and the complexities and dynamics that make it up.

Highly recommended for anyone, single or in a committed relationship, interested in the human elements of love within relationships.

Factual and biased

the information shared in this lecture is very interesting my only concern is how bias it was written in terms of angle to analyzing the information with very left winged ideology. I think this could have been left out for a more complete experience and not reinforcing an agenda and narrative on others.
