Read Andrew Trees's posts on the Penguin Blog. A smart, entertaining, and eye-opening look at the science of love, publishing for Valentine's Day Relationships should be so simple. You meet someone. You fall in love. You live happily every after. This "romantic story line" has shaped our thinking about relationships for centuries. But the fairy tale is deeply flawed, and researchers today are making shocking discoveries about how and why we choose the people we love. Drawing from the latest studies in economics, brain science, game theory, evolutionary psychology, and other fields, Decoding Love takes on a topic we all think we understand-how we fall in love-and illustrates that most of our assumptions are wrong. Along the way, Andrew Trees offers surprising new insights into the nature of attraction and desire, as well as an intimate look at the strange intersection of romance and the modern world of dating.

Decoding Love, targets the young single who is looking for a relationship with the opposite sex, and provides enlightening knowledge of the needs and motivations of men and women when searching for a mate.
I enjoyed the book because I can better understand the needs of the opposite sex, and as as result, better gauge my success and react to the competitive dating world.
I would recommend this book to any young single who wants to know the scientific facts behind the sexual dynamics in human relationships without being bogged down by statistics or dry facts. Trees writes his book in an engaging casual tone and presents just the relevant amount of information to keep the reader entertained. 4 STARS. ( )
