Down To Earth (DTE) speaks to scientists and authors to take stock of what we know so far about the emotions of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth; the historical debates around them and the critical gaps in our understanding. In the sixth part, DTE speaks to Helen Fisher, a visiting research associate at the department of anthropology, Rutgers University, US. Fisher works on the evolution of sexuality, marriage, divorce and gender differences, and has authored six books. Q.

LoveReading Says About Press Reviews Author LoveReading Says Oh how I loved this book-bundle of joy! Lucky Day made me ache with all the feelings it evoked. It’s piercing and provocative yet thoughtful and empathetic as it tickles and prods laughter to the surface. Beth Morrey has been fast developing into one of my favourite authors (she’s also rather fun to follow on social media too). Her debut Saving Missy and second novel Em & Me were both LoveReading Star Books.

Falling in lust is easy. A biochemical, hormonal response to someone you feel drawn to, attraction is a powerful evolutionary drive. Intense passion, putting the other person on a pedestal, spending all of your time together …Many people interpret these feelings and actions as love — and they are!It may just be early-stage, short-term love, though. Passion and obsession can certainly set the stage for a different love to follow, but they are not indicators of long-term romantic love.

The quest for romantic love is one of the most primitive and powerful urges we have. More than a simple feeling or emotion, love is what the ancient Greeks called “the madness of the Gods.”Today, we know it as both a natural addiction and a physiological drive like hunger or thirst. With so much primal brain power at work, it is no wonder that finding true love can seem like an overarching goal. Yet love is elusive, and the harder we try to find it, the more it seems to slip through our grasp.

Love is tough to narrow down. Poets write about it, philosophers discuss it, musicians sing about it, and most humans crave it — but actually defining and understanding love is complex. Once you have it, you will know it, but holding onto it isn't always easy. Fortunately, science can help us understand love, find it, and even keep it going in the long run.

Apparently, a lot of authors don’t like the question “where do you get your ideas from?” But I love it, and ask it of myself all the time. Ideas are the best tool of the writing trade, so even though you need to formulate a story around an idea, which can be the hardest part, and then you need to write a book, which is time-consuming and frustrating, ideas hold the key to it all. It’s a difficult question to answer because ideas don’t spring from a single place.

Who is Joe Nuthin? Joe Nuthin’s Guide to Life is my second published novel. I make no secret of the fact that I wrote it during a dark and difficult time, which I explain in the acknowledgements. When I first sent the manuscript away, I was full of doubt that I’d done justice to Joe and worried that people wouldn’t see him as I did. But in fact, feedback so far suggests the opposite. Joe is neurodivergent, although – other than OCD – I purposely make no mention of a specific diagnosis in the novel.
