The Love Delusion

<p>Are you one of the millions duped into believing there is one person determined by the fates for you, a soul mate you will love forever and a day? Prepare to throw away all your long-held beliefs about ‘falling in love’, as author and psychotherapist John Karter exposes the Hollywood myth of eternal bliss with ‘the one’ as delusional and dangerous. </p><p>In a ground-breaking analysis of what is really going on when we say we have ‘fallen in love’, <strong><em>The Love Delusion</em></strong> reveals the commercial forces that fuel this great lie, as well as the brain chemicals, psychological forces and subconscious motivation behind it, plus the damage it inflicts in terms of broken relationships and unfulfilled human potential. The delusional form of love, as portrayed in movies, romantic novels and pop songs, is contrasted with genuine, mature love and how it can be achieved.</p>
