| Publisher Description: From the world's foremost neuroscientist of romantic love comes a story of a lifetime of connection and heartbreak that has fueled her pioneering work Until age thirty-five, Stephanie Cacioppo was single: content to study social neuroscience, with a focus on the workings of romantic love, from an academic remove. And then, with a chance meeting Nora Ephron couldn't script, she fell for the foremost neuroscientist of loneliness. They married in Paris on a whim, and it stuck. Wired for Love is the sum of Cacioppo's revelatory insights into how we fall in love, and why; what makes love last; and how we process love lost, or never found--all grounded in cutting-edge findings in brain chemistry and behavioral science. Woven through it all is her moving personal story, from astonishment, to unbreakable bond, to grief and healing. With compassion and, yes, love, she offers the work of her life to help us get along with our own. |
