Why We Want What We Want
Attraction, Desire, Dating, Marriage & the Physiology and Psychology of Modern Love

THE ASS book cover

You are not broken. You were shaped, long before you could choose.

Maybe you are alone and afraid to try again. Maybe you are in a relationship, quietly suffering from things you have never said to anyone. Maybe you carry something from childhood that still runs your life, at home, at work, in every room you walk into, and you never even noticed it was there.

We think we know ourselves. We do not. We blame ourselves for feelings we never chose. We blame each other, and say all men are like this, all women are like that. And almost no one stops to ask the one question that matters. Why are we wired this way at all?

This is the book that says the things people only dare to type into a search bar at 2am, on an account with no name. The things they cannot tell their partner, their friends, their therapist, or anyone at work. It puts them on the table, with no shame and no judgement.

Because once you see the wiring, through real science instead of blame, everything changes. You stop accusing yourself. You start understanding the people around you. And you finally learn how to build a life, and a love, that actually works.

The questions people only ask anonymously
Why do we keep repeating the same patterns we swore we never would?
Why are we drawn to the people who are worst for us?
How much of who you are was decided before you can even remember?
Why did the spark disappear once we got comfortable?
Can you love one person and desire another?
Why can we tell a stranger online what we cannot tell the people we love?
What are you ashamed to admit that you want?
