What is love? Is it something we feel, something we do, or does all that depend on its players and objects? Where does it come from, and are there really different kinds? In this TED talk, writer, adventurer, and researcher Scotte Burns offers a hopeful and often humorous vision of the nature of love within and around us, as well as our loving relationships with the people, places, and purposes we so often have in common. His vision of love as our “seventh sense,” drawing on perspectives from ancient Greece to contemporary consciousness studies, together with diverse interviews and encounters gathered from he and his wife, Toni’s, Journeys to Love project, offer a unified theory of love - and along with it, an astonishing realization: love isn’t what most people think it is at all! This talk offers new research and insight into loveology, as well as engaging storytelling - but also something even more remarkable at a time when it’s needed most: hope.
