The Brain in Love - Paperback

What is the most important sex organ in the human body? The brain — and in this case, size does matter. A healthy brain increases your chances for intimacy and great sex. Daniel G. Amen, M.D., bestselling author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life and Magnificent Mind At Any Age , reveals the neuroscience behind our most intimate relationships in The Brain In Love: 12 Lessons to Enhance Your Love Life (Harmony Books, 2009). Drawing on the most current brain science available, Dr. Amen explores how the brain drives love, lust, and lasting connection — including: How sex can help prevent heart disease, improve memory, reduce cancer risk, and strengthen the immune system How to navigate the real differences between the male and female brain in relationships How the chemistry of attraction, attachment, commitment, and detachment shapes "brain-smart" vs. "brain-dumb" relationship choices Techniques to identify and fix common brain issues that hinder sexual satisfaction How to make yourself unforgettable to your partner Lifestyle behaviors that support brain health and increase passion An internationally recognized psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Dr. Amen distills 12 practical lessons from modern brain science into a clear, accessible guide anyone can apply to improve their love life. What distinguishes Dr. Amen's approach is his pioneering use of advanced brain imaging (SPECT scans) to observe exactly how the brain is functioning — or malfunctioning. Rather than guessing at a diagnosis, he bases treatment on a detailed analysis of thousands of brain scans. With a database of over 50,000 images, the Amen Clinics hold the largest brain scan collection in the world. The Brain In Love is an essential resource for anyone seeking deeper intimacy, better relationships, and a more satisfying love life — backed by real neuroscience.
