Description & Specifications

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, and stray from rewarding ones? Is it ever a good idea to open a relationship? How has the digital age impacted courtship? And why do some long-time couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love?

In The Intimate Animal, Dr. Justin Garcia—one of the world’s leading experts on the science of love and sex—illuminates the mysteries of how we date, mate and navigate our love lives, taking readers on a journey through the lifecycle of a romantic relationship, from the thrill of first attraction to the devotion that lasts decades.

Intimacy is core to the human condition, a key pillar of a loving relationship, and an evolutionary drive. In fact, Garcia reveals, the innate need to forge deep emotional bonds – even more than sex drive - is the most powerful force that drives our species. And yet, we have not evolved for sexual monogamy, leaving these impulses at odds. Understanding this tension is the key to aligning our romantic choices with our true desires.

Whether you're seeking that special someone, recovering from heartbreak, or trying to keep the passion alive, The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times.
