About this title

Review:

This book may change your life...Love 2.0 is not a treatise for old romantics, but something far more interesting... Fredrickson redefines [love] as fleeting moments of emotion we feel whenever we make a real connection with another human. -- --New Scientist
The scientist's verdict: there's no such thing as everlasting love -- --The Times Weekend
Love, more than happiness or optimism, holds the key to improving our mental and physical health. --Bristol 24-7
