![]() I know, it doesn't sound nearly as romantic as true love and destiny, but it's even more fascinating than that. Your heart may pound a mile a minute when you lock eyes with the one you love, but your brain is to blame. The truth is, love isn't all about fate and soul mates - it's also tangled up in psychology, biology, brain chemistry, evolution, social expectations, and so much more. While it's nice to think of love in more romantic terms, like the way it's presented in love songs and rom-coms and Nicholas Sparks-style novels, there's another side to the story. They might not have tense romantic plot lines and torrid affairs in them, but they can explain what makes those things happen. Romance novels may capture what it's like to fall in love, right down to the sweaty palms and skipping heart beat, but if you want to understand what causes those crazy emotions, your going to have to leave fiction behind and try reading some nonfiction books about love. Love, romantic or otherwise, is a bit of a mystery, one that all of us experience but don't quite understand. ![]()
