The Meaning of Love

Did you ever wonder if he or she really loves you? This book takes the confusion out of the different meanings we give the word, love. You will gain an understanding of the ways in which we define love and loving relationships

This sophisticated study examines the evolution of love in our emotional growth and the ways we create connections with others. It speaks to the nearly universal experience of "falling in love," and the ways in which that experience meets the unmet needs of the loved one. The three meanings of love are defined and then related to sexual intimacy. The need for love we never outgrow is discussed as fundamental to all relationships.

As a bonus with this book, you will receive a free 45 minute telephone consultation with the author ($100 value)

Conley separates feeling from thinking, and draws on neuroimmunolgical research to discuss the relationship of brain and emotions mediated by the body's communication system. Here is a down-to-earth discussion of how to harness the power of feelings, even though the mechanisms by which emotions function are still being mapped.
