Sur l'Amour — A Field Guide to Love, by the Evidence

La Femme Society — Volume II

A field guide to love, written by the evidence.

Nine chapters on what the research actually shows about choosing well, falling slowly, staying clearly, and leaving with grace. Bowlby and the architecture of attachment. Fisher and the three brain systems behind love. Gottman on what predicts a relationship that lasts — and what does not. Aron on intimacy as a question of self-expansion. Eastwick and Finkel on the gap between what we say we want and what we choose.

Forty peer-reviewed citations woven through prose that does not read like a textbook. Not advice. Not affirmations. The work of psychologists, neuroscientists, and clinicians who have spent careers studying this — translated into the quiet of a Sunday morning.

For the woman who would rather know what is true than be told what is reassuring.

Sur l'amour, par l'évidence.

What is inside

The volume moves through love as it actually works: the formation of attachment, the chemistry of early infatuation, the shift from passion to commitment, the patterns of communication that predict dissolution, the neuroscience of romantic obsession, the psychology of a clean ending. Each chapter contains the research and nothing more. The science is the romance.
