In 2014, thirty-three-year-old Mandy Len Catron went on a date with an acquaintance and together they decided to try a daring experiment. Using a twenty-year-old study designed to create romantic love in the laboratory, Mandy and Mark spent the evening asking each other thirty-six increasingly intimate questions, wondering it they would actually fall in love. Question 4: "What would constitute a 'perfect' day for you?" Question 30: "When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?" Afterward, Mandy, a lecturer at the University of British Columbia, wrote an essay for the New York Times' Modern Love column called "To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This." Published in 2015, it received more than 8 millions views and was shared more than 400,000 times during the course of that year. In How to Fall in Love with Anyone, Catron uses the experiment--and its genesis--as a launching point for an investigation into what it means to love someone, to be loved, and how we present out love to the world. What makes love last? Can love ever work the way it seems to in movies and books and on social media? Is there a "right" way to fall in love? Or even a right person to fall in love with? Part memoir, part cultural and social commentary, Catron's book traces her grandparents' first meeting in a mining town in 1940s Appalachia to her own upbringing and what led to that extraordinary experiment back in 2014 and its aftermath. Drawing upon psychology, biology, history, and the literature of love, Catron flips the script on love and offers a deeply personal, and universal, investigation into the one thing we all want--or think we want--more than anything.
