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."

几年前的一个夜晚,我和同居的女朋友偎在卧室里,举着酒杯,看未删减版的《色|戒》——不不不,我俩都是直的。不出意外的,我们都对某些人津津乐道的奇淫巧计没什么兴趣,而是在想:谁说身体的纠缠不会滋生情感的依恋呢?王佳芝对易先生显然是“有情”的,只是她的情,起于床笫...
評分几年前的一个夜晚,我和同居的女朋友偎在卧室里,举着酒杯,看未删减版的《色|戒》——不不不,我俩都是直的。不出意外的,我们都对某些人津津乐道的奇淫巧计没什么兴趣,而是在想:谁说身体的纠缠不会滋生情感的依恋呢?王佳芝对易先生显然是“有情”的,只是她的情,起于床笫...
評分如果给你一些激素和药片,人是应该很容易就失控的。人不知道自己生物的规律,不自知,搞着感觉顺应本能,其实是自然赋予的一个使命而已,却给自己一个爱情的名义,把自己都感动了,到底是感性还是理性,重视哪个,度怎么把握。只不过是刀锋上的蚂蚁吧。无力感、虚无感,所以要...
評分看了这本《情种起源》,首先给我的感触就是美国人就是厉害,能把人类最原始的问题研究的如此的透彻。 在我国的历史上,关于性情的研究也有先例。“情不知所起,一往而情深”,“食色性也”,以及“性格”等词语都和性情有关。但是,从科学的角度研究情和性的根源则没有过。这...
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。
