I Also Recommend:
Dr. Amen once again does an excellent job of presenting on the topic of brain imaging, neurochemistry, and the effect of "Love on the Brain." As a professional counselor, I find Daniel's work to be extremely helpful to my clients. I consider Dr. Amen a friend, colleague, and pioneer in the field. This is a must for your library.

I picked up this book in order to review it, but didn't expect to enjoy reading it as much. It is very practical in suggestions and information. He covers topics like the science of why certain foods are aphrodisiacs, what are brain does when it is love (and in the different phases of love), how people end up with fetishes or deviancy, and so much more. Very interesting read!
