The title itself explains that the book describes what your brain would look like when you're in love. This is what I expected anyways. There was a chapter or two going into the scientific explanations of what your brain would look like when in love. However what the book is really discusses is 5 love styles; the scattered lover, the Over-focused Lover, the Blue Mood Lover, the Agitated Lover, and the Anxious Lover. With 5 different tests, he helps you to identify what type of love style you are, and ways to improve for a healthy marriage which includes taking care of your brain. No one has a perfect relationship and we can all improve our marriages even small steps to understand each other helps and this book is one way to do that.
What I liked about the book: It is an enjoyable read. I honestly couldn't put it down. I read it in two days. It is very informative and presented in clearly with real life examples. I enjoyed reading the stories and found them all very interesting.
What I didn't like about the book: I am nervous that some people may take the tips in the book and self medicate when they should really see a doctor. Dr. Henslin talks a lot about brain scans and supplements and it seems that he is trying to "sell" them in the book. Also, it seems to suggest that you have an "imbalance" and I fear that one who reads this might self diagnose their self with a problem.
Overall, I would give this book 4 stars our of 5. : )
