Falling in Love: Why We Choose the Lovers We Choose

This book helped me out to analyze myself and figure out some aspects that become key elements when I feel attracted to someone. In a simple way, it shows you steps to improve in this and become more focused in order to obtain what you truly want in a relationship: by getting to know you and appreciate yourself. I recommend this book to everyone who's seeking either to find that perfect someone to fall in love, or just to fall in love with yourself and become more aware and prepared for future love opportunities that might present ahead.

SO much about love explained in a scientific and true manner. Nothing is hyped up to sell you or mislead you. Very little opinion. Just facts from studies and experiments to help you understand and increase your chances of falling in love. Not the best self help book to make you more attractive to the opposite sex, but really helps you understand falling in love better. For getting your man try "he's just not that into you" or "dating without drama" or [...] and when you're in a relationship you MUST read "men are from mars women are from venus" PRICELESS advice that led me to snag the man of my dreams and make him fall madly in love with me. Good luck!

Helen Fisher (anthropologist/human behaviorist) was right and Ayala Pines proves it. This is a deep read that takes time to get through and as you slowly read you will discover that sometimes, just sometimes, you might be reading your biography. Falling in Love will help you understand what motivates you toward who you are attracted to - and with that information, you can decide what patterns you want to change. Or not!

This book has an interesting perspective on the human feeling called love, and the reasons why people fall in love. Of course at the end of the day its a perspective, and even if it is backed up with scientific research, tests..etc in my mind love is a subjective matter, and it's very hard to make generalities about such a topic. If you want to get answers to some of your questions, regarding human relationships, and interactions, this book will definitely give you interesting facts.

I had to get this book for a Human Sexuality class I was taking in Grad school for my counseling studies and the course was given by none other than Yvonne Fulbright herself. One of the best classes I have ever taken and the book is not only good for the class but also for personal insight and discovery as well. Quick delivery too!!! Thank you!!! A+++

Very good book on the many ways of interpreting the path toward falling in love and keeping a loving relationship. Excellent insights on better mate selection.The Kindle file was full of typos and misplaced words.

good compendium on existing reasearch on the subject. I do advise to read other researches on the subject matter.

This book is based off of 3 Studies - "The first study involved close to 100 young men and women... The second study is a cross-cultural study that compared American and Israeli accounts of falling in love... The third study, using 100 couples..." These studies could be incredibly skewed, and are incredibly microscopic, how can anyone reading this book feel confident that the author ACTUALLY encompasses the entirety of human love? 100 is .0003% of the america population, and only 0.000001% of the entire world population! Statistically, the odds of Pines being wrong about her theory of love is incredibly high.

The reason I like physical books is that I enjoy it more than reading e-books. Besides, I don't want to look at the computer screen longer than I should to protect my eyes. I read computer and mobile phone screens, other books and newspapers without any problem and don't read the books that have 'Terms and Conditions' style text.This book is written with so tiny letters that force my eyes really badly even though I put my reading glasses on. Particularly for this book, I use a magnifier and reading glasses both at the same time to be able to see the text. The other problem is the ink. It is so pale as if this book's text's faded. Faded ink makes the reading equally more difficult.It's a shame that those issues ruined my enjoyment of reading this book. I am not sure if I can continue reading it. If I did, it would take me ages to finish it as the problems I mentioned above slow down my reading greatly. Reading process of this book is very frustrating for me. If I had known the tiny and faded text, I would have never bought it.

Fantastic book. I would highly recommend it.

Good explanation on choice of lovers, well worth reading.

Good read.

Thoroughly researched, interesting to read.
