A General Theory of Love by Thomas Lewis MD, Fari Amini

Price: $33.00

Drawing comparisons to the most eloquent science writing of our day, three eminent psychiatrists tackle the difficult task of reconciling what artists and thinkers have known for thousands of years about the human heart with what has only recently been learned about the primitive functions of the human brain. The result is an original, lucid, at times moving account of the complexities of love and its essential role in human well-being. 'A General Theory of Love' applies extraordinary insights to some of the most crucial issues we face, explaining how relationships function, how parents shape a child's developing self, how psychotherapy really works, what fosters violence in children, and how modern society dangerously flouts our most basic emotional laws. A work of rare originality, passion and eloquence. A General Theory of Love will forever change the way you think about human intimacy.
