My Review:

This was an interesting look at the human brain and love. I read This Is Your Brain on Joy last year and I loved it. I am not married or in a serious relationship so I did not get as much out of this book as someone who would. That said it was still a great book. Dr. Henslin is a Christian counselor that became intrigued with SPECT Brain scans and interpreting the results around fifteen years ago. This book was easy to read and understand and not dry or boring. There are case studies and funny moments too. I found the mini quizzes interesting and I took them. I found myself identifying with some of the ADHD characteristics. lol His theory of bringing your best brain to marriage is great. I am going to reread this if I am ever in a serious relationship. Recommended. :)
