Why read it?
1 author picked The Mating Mind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this book because it clarified a fundamental concept about how our minds evolved through sexual selection. This idea is strongly connected to my own research, which aims to understand the evolutionary basis of religious and spiritual experiences and how they are connected to sexuality.
By understanding how sexual selection works, we can explore the intricate relationship between sexuality and spirituality.
From Andrew's list on relationship between sexuality and spirituality.
