First released more than 40 years ago, Love and Limerence has become a classic in the psychology of emotion. As relevent today as it was then, this book offers insight into love, infatuation, madness, and all flavors of emotion in between.

It’s good limerence gets to have a whole book. It’s a real feeling, so strong and overwhelming. What i had heard and experienced is, it goes away when the relationship becomes real. This book suggests it can continue in a relationship. What’s the cure?

This book is definitely for anyone who has experienced limerence before. It helps to hear the experiences of others because it will not only validate your feelings, but there’s also so much to learn and understand about these emotions that otherwise make you feel like you’re crazy.

What a ride!

This is a must-read for men and women alike. It explains so much about what is sold to us and what people experience. Definitely something you should have a budding teenager read.

Really opened my eyes.

I had heard of limerance but wasn't clear on what it meant. I had heard of the book and this research and was delighted to find it on audible. If you have ever wondered what was going on with your or others’ overpassionate and overpowering feelings of what must truly be “love” and why some don't experience it the same way, here are some answers. This book should be shared with all, especially the young.

Loved it! Finally understood what was going on! I wish somebody else was continuing this research and could shine a light on it with respect to our predatorial online media: TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, twitch, etc.

Very thorough book on limerence

This was a very insightful book. Limerence is definitely a real thing and learning about it has enhanced my understanding of myself and human nature in general.

Insightful book

The research on attachment theory made this content archaic. It is not great as advice for healing attachment injuries

Dated content

This book was very boring and not very informative about the state of limerance and how to cope with living with it. It's chapters of stats of the different kinds of limerant attraction and not much else. It wasn't helpful or interesting.
