The Science of Love

Dario Salas Sommer (a.k.a John Baines)

In this book, the author invites us to ponder and practice what he calls “the Science of Love,” understanding it as a way to find true love by practicing truthfulness toward oneself and toward others.

In this book, we will start on the path to understanding the differences between false and true love, first  by understanding that we do not know what love is, and that consequently our relationships  are mostly unsatisfactory or not as fulfilling as they could be.

The author writes about the lack of knowledge  in being able to love the opposite sex, as well as loving the world and especially ourselves. By learning about the science of love, we will be able to glimpse the benefits that are attainable through it, such as   individual development and happiness.
