Love is a fascinating topic to the romantic and cynic alike. It is enigmatic ,magical and elusive. Of all human pursuits, the search for love occupies most of one's life. It is also the most misunderstood of all emotions. This is a book which describes both love and what passes for love; the real and the fake. The author, a practicing Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist draws upon her experience with human relationships to analyse love and romance. She debunks the prevailing myths about love and explains how anyone can find love. This book explores love from different perspectives-the biological,social,logical and emotional. It deals not only with romantic love but also describes and dissects all kinds of love beginning with parental love and ending with the love for the divine. The attempt is to have the reader develop a comprehensive understanding of love, as far as it is possible to do so.
