Overview

Do we really have a soul mate? Why do we kiss? Does size really matter? Can you actually die from a broken heart? Can Heartbreak Physically Hurt? looks to answer the questions that philosophers, poets and scientists have tried to demystify over the course of humankind's history. The internationally-acclaimed science author and public speaker, Dr Emily Grossman, uses a wide range of mathematical and scientific disciplines to answer the perennial questions we all ask ourselves about love in the modern world, from understanding our own sexuality and laws of attraction, to uncovering the relationship between addiction, sex, love and heartache. Through examining the core scientific discoveries of why we act and feel the way we do, why we're attracted to certain people, and who we are trying to get over and move on from, this book is a guide to decoding the one emotion that makes us entirely and uniquely human - love. Can Heartbreak Physically Hurt? combines physiology, neuroscience and affective science to explain truly modern love.
