A love life is as important as food, exercise and clean water for our well-being. We are even biologically programmed for love and can only realize our full potential with it. It’s our brain that says it.

Stéphanie Cacioppo is a professor of social neuroscience at the University of Chicago. She has made romantic love her subject of study for almost twenty years. In his last essay, The Power of Love. A story of passion, mourning and neuroscience (Editions Flammarion), she summarizes her discoveries, based in part on the analysis of the brains of people in love. She also shares her journey through grief, which occurred after the death of her husband, John Cacioppo. The latter was a specialist researcher – this cannot be invented – on the harmful effects of loneliness on health.
