À propos de cet audio
We all know love matters, but in this groundbreaking book positive emotions expert Barbara Fredrickson shows us how much. Even more than happiness and optimism, love holds the key to improving our mental and physical health as well as lengthening our lives.
Using research from her own lab, Fredrickson redefines love not as a stable behemoth, but as micro-moments of connection between people - even strangers. She demonstrates that our capacity for experiencing love can be measured and strengthened in ways that improve our health and longevity. Finally, she introduces us to informal and formal practices to unlock love in our lives, generate compassion, and even self-soothe.
Rare in its scope and ambitious in its message, Love 2.0 will reinvent how you look at and experience our most powerful emotion.

I approached *Love 2.0* with great interest, having deeply appreciated Fredrickson’s earlier work in *Positivity*. Her ability to bridge emotional science with practical insight was groundbreaking. This follow-up promised to expand our understanding of love through the lens of scientific research—a worthy and ambitious goal. But in aiming to redefine love itself, the book stumbles.
The central thesis—that love consists of micro-moments of shared positivity between individuals—is both compelling and well-documented. These co-regulated, synchronistic experiences are real, measurable, and meaningful. As a **slice** of what we call love, this framework offers valuable insight into human connection, especially in brief social encounters.
However, the book quickly overreaches. By branding these micro-moments as *Love 2.0*, it suggests an upgraded, even superior understanding of love—one that, implicitly, eclipses all others. That framing is problematic. It collapses the immense diversity and depth of love into a narrow, behaviorally observable category. The result feels reductive, even dissonant, to anyone who has experienced love as something broader: solitary, devotional, spiritual, enduring.
Fredrickson, rooted in her scientific methodology, tries to map the emotional terrain of love with the precision of a lab tool. But love, in its fullest sense, resists such tidy enclosure. Without clear boundaries on what this book *does* and *does not* aim to describe, the title and tone risk misleading the reader. What we’re given is a valuable exploration of **shared resonance**—not a new definition of love itself.
Had the book more clearly acknowledged its scope—“This is a scientific study of observable moments of shared emotion”—it would have stood as a solid and important contribution. Instead, it makes sweeping claims it cannot fully support, and ends up sounding at times more like a manifesto than a measured inquiry.
That said, there is value here. If you read it as a book about **connection**, not love writ large, it offers helpful tools and insights. Just don’t
