    About this ebook

    Love is the most amazing sensation on planet earth. A life without falling in love, is a life never lived. Love is the union of two minds.

    The term itself can set a person free from miseries. As humans, we all crave for love. In love lies the true essence of life. 
    However, despite all the grace and glory of love, why is it so hard to keep a love life alive in this civilized world?  
    In spite of all human efforts from both sides of a romantic relationship, why do relationships fail so often?  
    The answer lies deep inside the human mind. The mind is a beautiful and mysterious apparatus, that often plays tricks on us beyond our human understanding. Above all, the male and female minds are two vividly different worlds. Each world has its own distinctive brain circuits at its foundation. And the key to a healthy, lasting and cheerful relationship can be found deep within those fascinating circuits.  
    In this book world renowned Neuroscientist and Bestselling Author Abhijit Naskar gives a fascinating account of how distinctive the male and female minds are and what makes each of them tick. Moreover, here we learn how a healthy relationship can be maintained by understanding the biological roots of the male and female mental lives.

      Preface

      ––––––––

      Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance ... love will last forever!

      In an attempt to embark on this scientifically sensual journey of love, what other lines could be better than the above ones from the Corinthians! This little passage itself is a peerless descriptor of love. To be absolutely honest, I couldn’t find any more perfect verse than this. It’s just the ideal illustration of Love everyone seeks. It doesn’t get any more ideal than this.

      This one word Love has revolutionized the whole planet in an evolutionary way. Without this, none of us might have been born. It is Mother Nature’s magical wand by the touch of which everything turns surreal and captivating. Love is the most important ingredient of human life. Without it, life seems bleak. There is no other yearning like the yearning for a beloved one. That’s why the tiniest glance at your dearly beloved, can make you experience heaven right here on earth. And to be utterly honest, who wants Jesus, when you can have the warm embrace of the person who is the living embodiment of all your desires. So naturally on Christmas it comes out of your mouth

      All I want for Christmas is you.

      The truly fantastic sensation of love has been inspiring artists, scientists, philosophers and thinkers for ages. Albert Einstein said any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. Geniuses around the world came up with various masterpieces under the spell of love. Schrodinger’s Wave Equation, Hawking’s Hawking Radiation, Tagore’s songs are just a few among the plethora of scientific and philosophical literature created under the enigmatic and warm influence of love. So, technically it is totally worth being crazy in love.

      "I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless time

      In life after life, in age after age, forever."

      Rabindranath Tagore

      "Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love?

      The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes."

      Rumi

      But if the mental state of love is so soothing then why do people often fail to maintain a healthy relationship?

      The answer lies deep inside the human mind. Once you observe the fascinating biological structures of a loving male and female mind very closely, you shall discover something rather extraordinary. Human mind is sexually dimorphic. And this bizarre dimorphism is the major cause of all break-ups.

      It is in fact very simple. The male and female brains are wired differently. For this reason, the male brain perceives every situation of daily life from a typically male perspective and expects the female to do the same, while the female brain observes everything in a feminine manner and expects the male to do the same. And from this very desynchronization emerges all the predicaments of a relationship.

      Therefore, it is the lack of insight into the inner arena of the opposite’s as well as one’s own mind that ruins a relationship. There are various beautiful neurobiological structures at play behind the marvelous experience of love. And these structures work differently in the male and female brains.

      Throughout the lifetime, the entire neurobiology of a human being goes through relentless perplexing transformations. These sexually dimorphic neurobiological changes create a person’s personality. These unique makeovers of the male and female biology hold the key to a sustainable romantic relationship. So, let’s get going in a journey of befriending the most remarkable neurobiological structures of the human mind that ensured the survival of a
