From the world’s foremost neuroscientist of romantic love comes a personal story of connection and heartbreak that brings new understanding to an old truth: better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. At thirty-seven, Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo was content to be single. She was fulfilled by her work on the neuroscience of romantic love—how finding and growing with a partner literally reshapes our brains. That was, until she met the foremost neuroscientist of loneliness. A whirlwind romance led to marriage and to sharing an office at the University of Chicago. After seven years of being inseparable at work and at home, Stephanie lost her beloved husband, John, following his intense battle with cancer. In Wired for Love, Stephanie tells not just a science story but also a love story. She shares revelatory insights into how and why we fall in love, what makes love last, and how we process love lost—all grounded in cutting-edge findings in brain chemistry and behavioral science. Woven through it all is her moving personal story, from astonishment to unbreakable bond to grief and healing. Her experience and her work enrich each other, creating a singular blend of science and lyricism that’s essential reading for anyone looking for connection.

"Most of us will have many friends throughout our lifetimes—friends of all shapes, sizes, and callings. Many of these are wonderful, meaningful friendships. Some are difficult. But some magic few of these are connections that have gone right to our soul. These five or seven or ten friendships have been powerful keys to determining who we have become and who we will become. . . . These are the people I call Soul Friends." As the Senior Scholar-in-Residence for over 25 years at the renowned Kripalu Center, Stephen Cope has spent decades investigating—and writing about—the integration of body, mind, and spirit and the rich complexity of our relationships with others, and with ourselves. Perhaps the central truth that arises from his work is this: human beings are universally wired for one thing—vital connection with one another.Soul Friends invites us on a compelling journey into the connectivity of the human psyche, the study of which has fascinated scholars, philosophers, and thinkers for centuries. Cope seamlessly blends science, scholarship, and storytelling, drawing on his own life as well as the histories of famous figures—from Eleanor Roosevelt to Charles Darwin to Queen Victoria—whose formative relationships shed light on the nature of friendship itself. In his exploration, he distills human connection into six distinct yet interconnected mechanisms: containment, twinship, adversity, mirroring, identification, and conscious partnership. Then he invites us to reflect on how these forms of connection appear in our own lives, helping us work toward a fuller understanding of "who we have become and who we will become."Without a doubt, the journey to our most fulfilled selves requires us to look within. But in order to truly thrive, we must make the most of who we are in relation to one another as well. Unsparingly honest, deeply wise, and irresistibly readable, Soul Friends gives us a map to find our way.

Alright, listen up, folks. Let me spin you a yarn, a love story that will melt your butter and have you cheering for these star-crossed sweethearts like they're at the Olympics. Now, imagine Paris, see? Sun setting like a fiery tango dancer, painting the sky in shades of orange and longing. There's this girl, Chloé, eyes like sapphires and a spirit as sharp as a well-honed blade. In her hand, a crumpled letter, whispering promises turned to dust, signed with the very name that sends shivers down her spine – Benjamin. Distance, they thought, would be a whisper between their hearts. More like a chasm, right? Letters, supposed to be bridges, turned into tombstones of silence. The meadows they shared, filled with laughter and sun, now echoed with an emptiness that gnawed at her soul. But Chloé, she ain't built for wilting. That glint in her eyes, that's not tears, that's defiance. This ain't over, not by a long shot. This is just a tangled knot in their tapestry, waiting to be unraveled. Meanwhile, across the salty ocean, under a sky that's more green than blue, Benjamin wrestles with his own demons. His letters, once lifelines, are swallowed by the void, unanswered, unloved. His heart, a field where their love once bloomed, feels fallow now, haunted by phantoms of betrayal. But just like the stubborn weeds that push through concrete, hope refuses to die. He sees Chloé everywhere, not in the missing letters, but in the sunlight dappling leaves, in the rain singing on his windowpane. Her spirit, a whisper woven into his very being, won't be silenced. So, you see, their story, even though it's stretched thin by miles and deceit, it's still playing out in harmony. Chloé, in the concrete jungle, unravels the threads of lies, her love a compass guiding her in the dark. Benjamin, under the sun, cultivates his dreams, his success a silent serenade to the love that still burns bright within him.
