The paired TED talk

Why we love, why we cheat (2006), the TED talk by Helen Fisher.

From the publisher

In this brilliant book, Fisher looks at the innate aspects of love, sex, and marriage. She examines flirting behavior and other courting postures we use to woo each other. She explores the brain chemistry of attraction and attachment, and posits a new theory--"the four-year itch"--about when and why marriages are most likely to end.
