PSYC Class Inspires New Book on Love and Relationships
Valentine’s Day may be over, but an affiliate research faculty member in BSOS’s Center for Addictions, Personality and Emotions Research (CAPER) offers fascinating insight into human relationships, concluding that many people pick their partners without considering the traits that truly matter to them. Terp Magazine features Ty Tashiro and his new book “The Science of Happily Ever After: What Really Matters in the Quest for Enduring Love.”
Tashiro, who also writes “The Science of Love” for the Discovery Network’s Fit and Health Channel, credits a Maryland student with giving him the idea for the book. He was teaching a psychology class called “Interpersonal Relationships” in 2006 when a sophomore named Meagan asked, “Let’s imagine you are single and looking for Mr. Right when a fairy godmother appears and grants one wish for your love life. What would be the best way to spend that wish so you live happily ever after?”
