Love Understood: The Science of Who, How and Why We Love

“A fascinating investigation... Lively and entertaining, this book will inspire readers to look more deeply at the authenticity of their own relationships.” ―Publishers Weekly

From a young age, Laura Mucha was fascinated by relationships, and for as long as she can remember, she questioned, interrogated and informally "interviewed" virtually everyone she met about their relationships. After gaining an MA in Philosophy and Psychology from Edinburgh University, Laura spent many years travelling to every continent in the world, speaking to hundreds of strangers from a wide variety of backgrounds, listening to their intimate stories and personal philosophies.

Laura has explored romantic love working with scientists, philosophers, artists and musicians. She is also an award-winning poet, experienced speaker, performer and broadcaster, appearing at festivals, theaters, schools, music venues (including Wigmore Hall), and on radio (including BBC Radio 3 and the World Service).
