On Today’s Episode:
As much as you hate to admit it, relationships are vital to our happiness and success in life. The relationship you have with yourself , your romantic partner, your family, friends and co-workers dictate more than you can imagine.
Dr. Molly Maloof, author of The Spark Factor, believes in relationships and connections so much she’s created a lecture for Stanford University called Live Better Longer. She touches on the value of social connection and its impact on long-term health and disease.
Molly talks with Lisa in this episode and runs down the power of love, what intense romantic love feels like, and an entire masterclass on s****l desire and arousal. The fact that Molly ranks love in the same category of needs as thirst and hunger says a lot.
In addition to unpacking the power of love, Molly also covers the power a loss of love has on your physical and mental health. So much of her explanation fills the voids we have in understanding why a bad break can make us feel crazy and do things out of character.
