The evolution of Love.

New thinking allowed interview with Adam Crabtree about his latest book. The Evolution of Love.  Particularly about the distinction between Eros and Agape.  Aside from a brief digression into politics. This is thirty minutes well spent. In my marginal opinion .https://youtu.be/S06ifCg_0rE

I thoroughly recommend the book "A General Theory of Love" for anyone interested in finding out much more about it...



"...This original and lucid account of the complexities of love and its essential role in human well-being draws on the latest scientific research. Three eminent psychiatrists tackle the difficult task of reconciling what artists and thinkers have known for thousands of years about the human heart with what has only recently been learned about the primitive functions of the human brain.

A General Theory of Love demonstrates that our nervous systems are not self-contained: from earliest childhood, our brains actually link with those of the people close to us, in a silent rhythm that alters the very structure of our brains, establishes life-long emotional patterns, and makes us, in large part, who we are. Explaining how relationships function, how parents shape their child's developing self, how psychotherapy really works, and how our society dangerously flouts essential emotional laws, this is a work of rare passion and eloquence that will forever change the way you think about human intimacy..."
