Episode Notes
Love is involuntary. Brain science tells us it’s a drive like a thirst. It’s a craving for a specific person. Love, like thirst, will make you do strange things. It’s a natural addiction and treating it as addiction can help you. We were built to fall in love. The ancient Greeks called love “the madness of the gods.” Modern psychologists define it as a strong desire for emotional union with another person. But what, actually, is love. It means so many different things to different people. Songwriters have described it, “Whenever you’re near, I hear a symphony.” Shakespeare said, “Love is blind and lovers cannot see.” Aristotle said, “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”
