Love Factually: The Science of Who, How and Why We Love
Poets, philosophers and artists have been trying to explain romantic love for centuries, but it remains one of the most complex and intimidating terrains to navigate - especially when your own heart is on the line. Most people are afraid to be open and honest about their experiences with love…until now.
For Love Factually, Laura Mucha has interviewed hundreds of strangers between the ages of 8 to 95, in over 40 countries on every continent of the world, asking them to share their most personal stories, feelings and insights about love. These intimate and illuminating conversations raised important questions, such as:
- What is love?
- Does love at first sight exist?
- What should you look for in a partner?
- How does love change over time?
- Why do people cheat?
- What’s the difference between lust and love?
- Should love be unconditional?
- How do you know when it’s time to walk away?
Drawing on psychology, philosophy, anthropology and mathematics, Laura has explored these questions - combining evidence and theory with everyday experience. The result, Love Factually, is for anyone who is curious about how we, as humans, think, feel and behave when it comes to romantic love.
