Today I Learned What Love Is

Reading Barbara Fredrickson’s Love 2.0 which is the her second book after Positivity.  Paraphrasing her broad definition of love as being when people connect with a shared moment that changes their biochemistry (for the better) and leaves them feeling better than before.  I love that definition of love.  It is simple, easy, inclusive and makes sense to me.

Sure, there are other situations that don’t follow this definition such as I love my mother but don’t like her and can’t safely talk with her.  Fredrickson’s definition is certainly a great place to start when talking about love.


I am grateful for all the love in my life and the lives of others.  I have a lot more love in my life than I ever realized.
