In Decoding Love, Andrew trees cites scientific studies to challenge our notions of the romantic storyline-that we simply meet someone, fall in love, then live happily ever after. Results from studies in game theory, economics, evolutionary psychology and others, paint a shocking picture of why and how men and women think and act in the courtship phase of their interaction.

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. ( )
