"An insightful look at the science of human emotions. . . . A rare example of the fusing of scientific rigor with literary eloquence." –
San Fransisco Examiner "Bold. . . . Eminently readable. . . . Convincingly connects love and biology." –
The Washington Post Book World "A lovely, furious book. . . . It puts love right where we're not used to finding it–in the company of physics and economics as a suitable object of study. . . . Comparisons to Oliver Sacks and Lewis Thomas become inevitable." –
San Francisco Chronicle "In elegant prose . . . [the authors] argue why we need a culture attuned to the ways of the heart." -
