We discuss one of the most motivating and enthralling states of consciousness that the human brain is capable of generating, which has been a motivating factor in some of the most beautiful of human achievements to some of the ugliest of human behavior. Love is one of the most ancient topics in literature, with examples in ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Chinese works - as well as in preliterate societies. Our conversation explores everything from what occurs in the brain when falling in and out of love, why it might be that some couples stay together longer than others, and why people can cheat on their partner.
