This book was such a great read - I zipped through
it, hungry for more when I was finished. Lipton blends spirituality,
biochemistry, quantum physics, and personal experience to explain the joy
experienced at the honeymoon phase of a relationship and how we can achieve
that bliss throughout our lives.
Lipton explains that coupling among humans is
fundamentally about bonding, not reproduction. Bonding is the powerful innate
drive that propels us into relationships with others. Because we are driven to
bond easily, we must become conscious (not simply hormone-ruled or blindly
lustful) as we bond so that we can attract people who meet our needs into our
lives. Lipton says we can use the power of good vibrations and switch our
thoughts to create a happily ever after life. He reminds us that love is all
about potions – our own neurochemicals cause everything from the anxiety to the
euphoria and the infatuation to the post-breakup depression. He differentiates
between our conscious and unconscious minds and provides a quantum physics
analogy for how to achieve both amazing relationships and world peace.
Overall, I highly recommend this book. The
discussion of neurochemicals was fascinating. Moreover, how Lipton relates what
occurs on the cellular level, to the interpersonal level, to the macro of world
peace is brilliant. On all levels, this book is fantastic!
