Why do you fall in love with one person rather than another? In this fascinating and practical book, Helen Fisher - one of the world's leading experts on romantic love - unlocks the hidden code of desire and attachment. Driven by biology, we are attracted to partners who both mirror and complement our own personality type. Until now, the search for love has been blind, but Fisher pulls back the curtain and reveals how we unconsciously go about finding the right match.

An anthropologist and researcher on how people choose romantic partners reads her sprawling, fascinating guide with equal amounts of charm and authority. With unswerving confidence, she unfolds complex studies and insights that without her vocal brightness might put people to sleep. She describes four personality types that correlate with defined emotional and interest patterns and are fueled by the prominence of one of four brain chemicals--dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, or estrogen. By knowing who you are and what you seek, she says, you can tap into evolutionary magic that has been matching people optimally since the dawn of humanity. The author's effortless European diction makes her blend of scholarship and clinical narratives as soothing to the ear as it is to the intellect. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
