Infidelity

Why Men and Women Cheat

By: Kenneth Paul Rosenberg

Narrated by: Kenneth Paul Rosenberg

What the latest science tells us about the brain's reward systems, love, and sex - and how to prevent an affair from destroying your life

How can I prevent an affair from destroying my life? Whether I am the cheater or the betrayed partner, how can I survive, even thrive, in the wake of an affair? Infidelity provides key insights to find your true sexual and romantic potential and advocates honesty, trust, and integrity - the fundamentals of love.

People often cheat in a haze of delusion, believing that it will bring them real love, help them have better sex, lift their spirits, and boost their sagging self-esteem; however, very often, cheating wrecks relationships and erodes self-esteem. In Infidelity, one of America's top doctors combines neuroscience, addiction theory, and common sense to explain the three types of cheating: emotional, virtual, and physical; why they're so prevalent; and how to live in accordance with our values when we are drawn to stray.

Examining what the latest science tells us about the brain's reward systems, love, and sex, Dr. Kenneth Paul Rosenberg reveals what drives men and women to cheat and what they can do about it. At a time when America's pornography obsession rises to the level of a competing sexual interest, when is porn a problem, and when does it count as infidelity? And since it is not the act of infidelity alone that destroys a couple, how does any couple prevent growing apart?

Through concrete rules addressing these and other vital questions, Dr. Rosenberg guides couples on how to prevent cheating, stop it from progressing, and repair the damage caused by an affair.

Sobering read

Very objectional about the topic with understandable explanations to this human experience. A must read for anyone in or considering being in a serious relationship.

An important book. Read unprofessionally

This book is too important to be shared in this manner. The author is knowledgeable and very well informed. He should NOT have read his work for public consumption. Please have it read by someone who can make this information less painful and boring to consume.

best book on cheating i have ever encountered,

This book gives the reality of how cheating works from a Psychological and Physiological aspect, thus at sometimes it may not feel fun to hear, which makes a lot of sense for any Tru and valuable data.

How we people are and what we do in our lives.

I liked everything in this book awesome it teaches us how to manage our life and how to make the right decisions for yourself and others to have a better life.
It was a great book. Congratulations Dr. Rosenberg.

Excellent! Multiple professionals in this field!!

If you are looking to truly understand the psychology behind cheating this is THE book!

Great Insight

This is a well written reference book in story form. I will now go out and purchase the hard copy of the book for future use.

Excellent

Very well done book. Highly recommended for everyone, not just those struggling with infidelity.

As a scientist myself, I found some of the evolutionary psychology and neurology overly simplistic, culturally bound, and likely incorrect. However, that isn't important. The author's experience in the field, intuition, and humility make the content and advice extremely valuable. I learned a lot from listening to this book and I intend to listen to it again. The author also reads his work very well.

Amazing book and narrator

This might be the best narrator on Audible, the author himself. This book is stellar. Sobering. Convicting. Disturbing. Above all, urgent. Buy this book if you had ever been ashamed of your lust, because you knew loyalty was the premier virtue of life.
