Helen Fisher new book Why Him? Why Her?. I was dicey about this one since the title sounded like one of those Linda Goodman books but picked it up after reading this review/interview (thro' Jonah Lehrer's blog) since it was talking about chemistry/neuroscience behind our personalities.
Its a good book, the four types might sound like a reductionist view of love and our personalities but it is very broad view. Its fascinating to find out how the difference in Dopamine, Serotonin, Testosterone and Estrogen defines who we are. Well, my Oxytocin theory came true again!!
The book sometimes gets repititive but worth the read for its novel approcah and have some great quotes.
"Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulders." - Henry David Thoreau
