Helen Fisher: The Kindle Singles Interview (Kindle Single)
Over the course of a close-to-three-hour Kindle Singles Interview in her home office on New York’s Upper East Side, Dr. Helen Fisher – who wrote the classic and bestselling books “The Anatomy of Love†and “Why We Love,†and who is the chief scientific adviser of Matchmaking at Match.com – discussed her life’s work unraveling the mysteries of the heart by exploring how love plays out in the brain. Dr. Fisher also revealed the evolutionary reason some spouses stray, the best way to get over a breakup, the role self-deception plays in having a spectacular love life, and, thankfully, the answer to that ever-mystifying question: But seriously, who should pay for dinner?
The interview was conducted by Mara Altman, the author of six bestselling Kindle Singles including “Baby Steps,†“Bearded Lady,†and the Kindle Singles Interview with Tom Robbins. Altman has worked as a staff writer for The Village Voice, and has also written for New York Magazine, The New York Times and Salon. In 2009, HarperCollins published Altman's first book, “Thanks For Coming: A Young Woman's Quest for an Orgasm,†which was optioned as a comedy series by HBO.
