The psychology and science behind one of life’s great mysteries—love.
For Love Understood, Laura Mucha has interviewed hundreds of strangers, from the ages of 8 to 95 in more than 40 countries, asking them to share their most personal stories, feelings, and insights about love and relationships. These intimate and illuminating conversations raised important questions, such as:
- How does your upbringing influence your relationships?
- Does love at first sight exist? Should you “just know?”
- What should you look for in a partner?
- Is monogamy natural?
- Why do people cheat?
- How do you know when it’s time to walk away?
Drawing on psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and statistics, Love Understood combines evidence, theory, and everyday experience and is the perfect read for anyone who is curious about how we think, feel, and behave when it comes to love.
