In "Love", researcher Anne Marie Pahuus explores the fascinating dimensions of this complicated and alluring feeling. Defining love as warm emotions fueled by our wish to be with another person, Pahuus illustrates how love frames and influences our lives, plans, and goals. But we haven't always viewed love in the romantic way that we see it now—the idea of love has changed throughout history. Love determines our experience of happiness, but it also defines our responsibilities. Love will help you reframe your relationship with yourself, others, and the world.

In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

Anne Marie Pahuus is an associate professor at the School of Culture and Society at Aarhus University.
