Last night I spent my time browsing through the science pages of  BBC’s web site.

There are so many interesting things to read about and I thought I should share some of those with you.

The Science of Love is one of the Hot Topics on BBC.CO.UK science section.
It basically breaks down love to chemicals and gives such a nice explanation about the 3 phases of falling in love: Lust, Attraction and Attachment.

There are 6 pages about this containing great information and it’s a must read.

The teaser:

• There are three phases to falling in love and different hormones are involved at each stage
• Events occurring in the brain when we are in love have similarities with mental illness
• When we are attracted to somebody, it could be because subconsciously we like their genes
• Smell could be as important as looks when it comes to the fanciability factor. We like the look and smell of people who are most like our parents
• Science can help determine whether a relationship will last

I’ve just finished reading a great article on The New York Times about developing new habits.

It’s a beautiful article, very insightful and well written. In fact, is been a while since I’ve read something so good as this post: Can You Become a Creature of New Habits?

From the article:
HABITS are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation.

Please, do take few minutes of your time and read it. It’s all worth it.
