Men Chase, Women Choose The Neuroscience of Meeting, Dating, Losing Your Mind and Finding True Love By Dawn Maslar, MS

A question that seems as old as time comes closer to a definitive answer than ever before ― What is love? In Men Chase, Women Choose, Dawn Maslar, MS, provides engaging insights into one of life's most elusive and misunderstood topics by offering science-based research to help anyone discover and sustain love. Maslar's relatable and easy-to-read book uses the most relevant neurological, physiological, and biochemical studies on the science of love, while incorporating stories and examples based on participants of her popular classes and seminars. {Book provided for review/feature consideration}

For the past decade, the "love biologist” has been using her cutting-edge research to describe how the brain works when two people first meet, start to date, fall in love, and then move on to a more passionate, lifelong love. Even simpler, she breaks down her love science into four precisely timed phases:

1. Attraction
2. Dating
3. Falling in love
4. Real love

During these phases, Maslar explains that "love” is actually neural activity as well as the presence or absence of certain neurotransmitters. Most people associate love with the euphoric feeling during which anxiety is low or nonexistent among these brain signals. However, Maslar demonstrates that levels of anxiety and other feelings can fluctuate throughout love's path. "Love isn't just one thing that you luckily fall into,” says Maslar. "Finding and maintaining lifelong love is a process … Because the stages are different, you can feel different emotions during each phase.”

Maslar reasons that once we understand how love works, we can make educated decisions. Men Chase, Women Choose helps readers in this boundless endeavor by addressing all those time-honored questions like:

• Does love at first sight really exist?
• Who should make the first move?
• What happens to your brain when you fall in love?
• Why won't he commit?
• Why does love make us crazy?
• What can you do to have love that lasts a lifetime?

Readers can expect answers involving how love is a biological need, the "natural laws” of love, purposes of the brain's anatomy, and how testosterone and other biochemical differences between men and women affect how we love. Maslar states, "When you understand the science of love, it will help you easily and effortlessly find nourishing and passionate, long-lasting love.”
