Features: How Love Comes narrates the story of human "senses," outlining the natural history of human "love." Patrick Lemoine is a renowned French psychologist and expert in insomnia and depression. He attempts to interpret the truth of the soul and body, love and temptation, using his extensive interdisciplinary knowledge. From perspectives such as psychoanalysis, behavioral ecology, literature, anthropology, biology, and epidemiology, he reveals the different roles played by vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and the mysterious sixth sense in the process of "love." He deeply elucidates the intricate physiological and historical roots of humans—half "animal" and half "angel"—in species propagation, emotional dependence, and sexual enjoyment, where their innate nature and social complexities are intertwined.
