HELEN FISHER ON LOVE, ANTI-DEPRESSENTS AND WHY WE ARE ADULTEROUS

 What reasons lie behind romance building up in relationships? Why do we fall madly in love? Why do we then cheat on our loved ones? What explains the mad, possessive nature of love? Why do people kill for love, or die for love? Is being in love like having a snort of cocaine? What has dopamine levels to do with love? What has oxytocin to do with love? What has serotonin got to do with love? Is there more to the saying, that the "chemistry" is not right? Why do women find adventurous men, sexy? All these are answered in this delightful lecture by Helen Fisher an anthropologist.
