Wind Goodfriend
What is love? It's more scientific than you think.
Through 10 illuminating lectures, Dr. Wind Goodfriend surveys the biology of interpersonal attraction, sexual preference and desire, and conflict resolution. You'll look at a variety of romantic notions, common myths, and love stereotypes through the lens of science in order to break them down and better set expectations when it comes to keeping a long-term relationship happy and healthy. You'll apply biology, psychology, and anthropology to that "spark" we feel when we are attracted to someone, to better understand what that feeling is.
The mystery of love meets the power of science. And you'll never fall in love again - in quite the same way.
©2021 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2021 Audible Originals, LLC.Having recently listened to a series of lectures setting out the history and foundations of psychology, my interest in this area was piqued.
This series of lectures delves in to the psychology of love in some depth, giving alternative theories, and experimental examples. I found it quite enlightening with regards to how I behave in relationships, and how my partners have. The section on domestic violence was a hard listen, but very well done and although this isn't what I listened to the lecture series to learn more about (I've read / listened to books which specifically tackle this subject), I still came away having learned something new.
Wind Goodfriend is a very engaging speaker - I imagine her lectures are really great to experience in person.

A great help if you’re in a struggling relationship or single and making sure you’re ready for a new relationship or a great way to check-in with areas ongoing relationships might be taking for granted or can make things even better.
Enjoy!

My degree was in Psychology, so a lot of the content here was very familiar, but I did still find a few nuggets, theories and new terminology I was glad to hear about.
Not a self-help guide, but a series of lectures that one can use to consider one's own relationships and styles of communicating with loved ones, with a lot of excellent theory, names and studies backing it all up.
Easy to listen to, each half-hour lecture was just enough to take in, though I could certainly have gone for longer on many of the topics.
There is a warning at the start of one lecture about some graphic content, but I didn't have an issue at all, though some may (fantasy/porn references, you can imagine where this might lead).
A pleasant listen, no issues with the narrator.
Good basic information and a topic we should all consider and re-evaluate as part of self-examination.
Good intro to the area
