Summary

Why We Like Each Other: Understanding Attraction, Love, and Relationshipscontains some powerful ideas on how relationships work. Dr. Padilla writes in a lucid and down-to-earth style, bringing focus and clarity to a sometimes perplexing subject: matters of the heart. Take the weekend off and read this book. The rest of your weekends will never be the same again. In fact, after completing the book, my bet is that your friends will appoint you their informal relationship guru. With that in mind, be careful who you lend this book to, or you may not get it back.
