In this episode, Armand DiMele delves into the complexities of love, questioning whether it is merely an emotion or a chemical state. Drawing on research by anthropologist Helen Fisher, the discussion explores the biochemical and neurological underpinnings of romantic love, including the brain’s reward systems. The conversation touches on the challenges and joys of love, the risks involved, and how love evolves over time. Armand also reflects on personal experiences and the broader implications of love in human relationships.
