Hug the Monkey
It may seem shocking or even
unbelievable that love and
commitment, one of the most complex
and intense experiences of life, could
be dependent on a single hormone.
But scientists have discovered that
oxytocin, a peptide responsible for
hydration and relaxation, among many
other things, determines whether we'll
be able to experience one of life's
deepest emotions.
Hug the Monkey is a companion to my
book, Love Chemistry: How Oxytocin
Lets Us Love, Trust and Mate,. It
tracks the latest research and articles
about oxytocin, a natural wonder drug.

This is part of the Life Goes Strong
blog network, published by NBC
Universal for people 45 to 65 (AKA
baby boomers, but we're not supposed
to use the b-words). Sex, parenting,
grandparenting, food, culture, work
and fulfillment are all fair game here.
