In his new book, This is Your Brain in Love, Dr. Earl Henslin takes a close look at the biological factors that deeply affect our intimate relationships. Sharing many first hand examples from his counselling practice, Dr. Henslin attributes many of the problems encountered by couples on brain dysfunctions. He outlines five different types of lovers, and describes in detail some characteristics that identify each. At the beginning of each of the five chapters, there is a checklist provided in order to determine how you connect to your spouse. At the end of each chapter, Dr. Henslin gives some tips to improve the drawbacks of each type of brain. He also offers suggestions for the spouse in relating to each brain type.
Overall, I was very disappointed in this book. Although it offered some great tips, Dr. Henslin really pushes the idea of having a brain scan in order to determine the biological functioning of your specific brain. I do not think this is practical for the average person. I think this book could be helpful to enrich a marriage after that initial infatuation fades; however, I would not recommend relying heavily on it for those who are having marital difficulties.
On a positive note, the book is very well written and easy to read. It is a groundbreaking idea that warrants further research.
