There is no doubt that this book contains some gems of information that help us to understand the dimensions and manifestations of love. Its well researched, even if Barbara's conclusions about the research are limited to the lens of her particular positive psychology. I think that Barbara is raising our awareness of the precursors to love, the emotions that accompany love and the pleasure and well-being that comes from human connection - but these cannot be described as love itself. Her claim is grand when she defines love in her terms, a claim she doesn't substantiate in the book and one that wipes out a wealth of wisdom and knowledge that exists in the world about the subtleties, complexities and diversity of the realities of love.

The eminent Frederickson is a leading researcher. In this book she explains the myriad benefits of loving kindness - and this book felt much kinder than her first, referred to below.
Having researched happiness for over 3 decades, actually, little that is really new on happiness appears to have been published in the last 5 years. Here are my top practical picks on happiness:
- the classic "To Love is to be Happy With",
- "Happy for No Reason" by Shimoff & Kline,
- "The Myths of Happiness" and "The How of Happiness" both by the top social pyschologist Lyubomirsky and (for its detailed action steps that work well with Lyubomirsky's first book) "Emotional Toolkit",
Next tier books that elaborate on different aspects already known and reported within the happiness/health field:
- in 2012 "The Longevity Project" by Friedman and Martin is a groundbreaking 80-year overview on what is really directly linked to happiness and health and "Resilience" by Southwick and Charney, who identify ten key and researched ways to weather, and bounce back from, stress and trauma;
- in 2011 Seligman's "Flourish" with its new emphasis on well-being rather than happiness and McTaggart's "The Bond" on the importance of relationships; and
- in 2010 "Why Kindness is Good For You" by Hamilton which expands on the importance of kindness and helping; and
- in 2009 Frederickson's first book "Positivity", on the tipping point created by having 3 positive thoughts to every negative or neutral thought.
I am also impressed with "The Healing Code" by Loyd & Johnson - an amazing process for emotional clearing. There are hundreds of success stories, including physical healings, on Amazon.Read more ›

Loved the book and have great admiration for Barbara Fredrickson, but feel the title will put off a lot of people. This is a shame--I can understand why she wanted to call it that, but perhaps the subtitle would be better as the title. Putting the claim of "reinventing love" before the explanation is challenging and may even seem arrogant, but if you can get past the title and actually read the book, you will find that it is a new concept of love. It is one which is much more in tune with reality and explains how the romantic version of love limits us from experiencing and revelling in the micromoments of connectivity. William Feather said "Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it." If you replace the word "happiness" with "love" that helps you understand why this book is so important. It is interesting to compare with CS Lewis's The Four Loves.
