Love at First Sight : The Stories and Science Behind Instant Attraction

By Earl Naumann

Book Overview

Do you believe in love at first sight? If you're like some, you've only heard about love at first sight, perhaps dismissed it as cliche or mere emotional overload. But if you're among the lucky ones, you've experienced it -- within one hour of meeting someone, you felt strange and powerful feelings of love for him or her. Love at First Sight is the first book to deeply examine this remarkable human phenomenon. Author Earl Naumann conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with 1,500 individuals across America, of all ages, races, religions and backgrounds. His findings revealed a staggering statistic -- nearly half of his respondents had experienced love at first sight, but for different reasons and in dramatically different ways. Written in a personal, yet highly professional style, Love at First Sight also includes heartfelt love stories from survey respondents that reveal the soul behind the phenomenon -- an almost magical experience that leaves a lasting impression. Amazing Statistics to Make a Believer out of You: --Nearly two-thirds of the population believes in love at first sight --Of the believers, more than half have experienced it --55 percent of those who experienced love at first sight married the object of their affection --Three-quarters of those who married as a result of love at first sight have stayed married -- well over the national average!

Helped help me figure out my own problems

Love at first sight is a great book that has literally helped me out with how I act in certain situations when it comes to love. There is a lot of information in this book that helps the reader understand how love effects us and how our brain works with our emotions. I've told people I care about that the reason I don't know how to deal with certain situations is a lot of it comes from my past for how I do deal with them. The book states it that emotions are identified by comparing memories with the situation at hand. If you are having any troubles in your life in the areas of understanding why you love people that you love, this will truly help you out.

I fell in love with this book- at first sight

I knew it existed! Everyone told me I was crazy, but when you've experienced it- you know. People used to tease me for my romantic beliefs, but this book proves that I am as logical as they come- and perhaps more aware to my surroundings. I feel sorry for all those who may have missed it- but by reading this book you may actually be prepared for when it happens to you. If you don't believe in it- it won't happen to you!
