No eres tú, soy yo : Qué nos enseña la ciencia sobre el amor y el desamor

"It's not you, it's me". The phrase sounds familiar, doesn't it? Maybe you've even said it yourself. Or maybe someone said it to you. We all understand what it means: goodbye. But to reach that heartbreaking moment, we had to be two people first. Or even better: we were one. So what happened to us? That's what this book is about. It doesn't contain the formula for perfect love —it's not self-help, not at all— but it does offer a wealth of information to help you understand everything that happens when you fall in love: the glances, the butterflies in your stomach, the conversations, the amazing sex, the relationship —growing stronger with each passing moment— and what comes next: sometimes, a breakup; other times, a love that lasts a lifetime. Neuroscience, language, biology, and culture come together in "It's Not You, It's Me" to explore the delicate workings of romantic love. With precision, clarity, and a sense of humor, biologist Fabricio Ballarini and linguist Juan Bonnin invite us to understand the encounter between our most vital muscle and our most powerful organ.
