She debunks the prevailing myths about love and explains how anyone can find love. This book explores love from different perspectives-the biological,social,logical and emotional. It deals not only with romantic love but also describes and dissects all kinds of love beginning with parental love and ending with the love for the divine. The attempt is to have the reader develop a comprehensive understanding of love, as far as it is possible to do so.
