Summary, Etc. "Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships and stray from rewarding ones? Is it ever a good idea to open a relationship? How has the digital age affected courtship? And why do some longtime couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? Intimacy is central to the human condition, a key pillar of a loving relationship, and the most powerful need that drives our species. But therein lies the challenge. We evolved to crave both emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy, yet these impulses are often at odds. Only once we understand this tension can we align our romantic choices with our true desires. In The Intimate Animal, one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex reveals how our evolved need for intimacy animates the full life cycle of the romantic relationship, from the thrill of first attraction to the devotion that lasts decades. Whether you're seeking that special someone, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to keep the passion alive, this is the essential, research-backed guide to forging deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times."-- Book jacket flap.
