Anthropologist Helen Fisher studies gender differences and the evolution of human emotions. She's best known as an expert on romantic love, and her beautifully penned books -- including Anatomy of Love and Why We Love -- lay bare the mysteries of our most treasured emotion.
Helen Fisher's courageous investigations of romantic love -- its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its vital importance to human society -- are informing and transforming the way we understand ourselves. Fisher describes love as a universal human drive (stronger than the sex drive; stronger than thirst or hunger; stronger perhaps than the will to live), and her many areas of inquiry shed light on timeless human mysteries, like why we choose one partner over another.
Almost unique among scientists, Fisher explores the science of love without losing a sense of romance: Her work frequently invokes poetry, literature and art -- along with scientific findings -- helping us appreciate our love affair with love itself. In her research, and in books such as Anatomy of Love and 2004's Why We Love, Fisher looks at questions with real impact on modern life. Her latest research raises serious concerns about the widespread, long-term use of antidepressants, which may undermine our natural process of attachment by tampering with hormone levels in the brain.
"In hands as skilled and sensitive as Fisher's, scientific analysis of love only adds to its magic."

費捨爾乾瞭件很煞風景的事情,偏要把愛情這麼浪漫的東西,試圖用生物學去探尋其運作原理,把本該浪漫美妙的情愛之美轉換為枯燥冰冷的工程機器。然而人類有彆於其他物種的最大特徵,就是在動物吸引與繁殖生存的本能之外,消耗在情愛上的驚人熱情。首先要相信動物也是有愛情的,...
評分幾年前的一個夜晚,我和同居的女朋友偎在臥室裏,舉著酒杯,看未刪減版的《色|戒》——不不不,我倆都是直的。不齣意外的,我們都對某些人津津樂道的奇淫巧計沒什麼興趣,而是在想:誰說身體的糾纏不會滋生情感的依戀呢?王佳芝對易先生顯然是“有情”的,隻是她的情,起於床笫...
評分現在讀到第四章~~愛之網:情欲、浪漫和依附。以後讀完可能會更新~~ 讀書要先看封麵,讀前記看名傢怎麼推薦。《情種起源》這個書名明顯模仿達爾文的《物種起源》嘛~~這噱頭有點大;再來看看齣版社~~湖南科學技術齣版社,我去~~中文版的《時間簡史》《果殼裏的世界》就是這個齣...
評分學化學的人,不太喜歡多巴胺。 因為知道這個化閤物的一瞬間,好多美好的泡泡就“噗噗”破掉瞭。 那些春和景明中的迴眸一瞥,夏日荷塘邊的臨水照花,鞦風蕭瑟時的經年之約,鼕雪皚皚裏的一個擁抱……那些滄海桑田不變的感情——都變成瞭一堆化學物質在蹦來蹦去,此消彼長。 人們...
評分我是抱著讀一本泡妞攻略的心態去打開這本書的。 讀完之後,我纔發現,我錯瞭。 因為它不僅僅超越瞭所有的泡妞攻略,還超越瞭所有的愛情理論。我第一次看到如此嚴謹,科學,創新的研究愛情的著作。 一直以來,越不帶感情的東西越容易得到深入的研究,比如數學,物理,化學,...

評分Jan 2016. It's me against 3.8 billion years of evolution. 最終,我們痛苦是因為肉體的進化遠趕不上社會之變化。要接受肉身的局限。不要(完全)相信大腦的直覺判斷。進化之鐵規、荷爾濛之運作目的明確。卻不一定是你想要的結局。Prefrontal cortex, amygdala, dopamine, serotonin這些看不見的大boss控製我們的情緒,但我們仍有選擇,這纔是真正的free will。你沒有你想象的那麼自由。你比你想象的更自由。
評分Interesting scientific facts and insights.
