Love at First Sight: The Stories and Science Behind Instant Attraction

If you're like some, you've only heard about love at first sight, perhaps dismissed it as cliche or mere emotional overload. But if you're among the lucky ones, you've experienced it--within one hour of meeting someone, you felt strange and powerful feelings of love for him or her.

Love at First Sight is the first book to deeply examine this remarkable human phenomenon. A Ph.D. in marketing and an expert in market research, author Earl Naumann conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with 1,500 individuals across America, of all ages, races, religions and backgrounds. His empirical findings revealed a staggering statistic--nearly half of his respondents had experienced love at first sight, but for different reasons and in dramatically different ways.

Written in a personal, yet highly professional style, Love at First Sight examines the influence of three categories of characteristics that attract people: physical traits, personality and career/achievements. It also includes love stories from survey respondents that illustrate the author’s findings. Their heartfelt stories reveal the soul behind the phenomenon—an almost magical experience that leaves a lasting impression.
