Love, Demystified – Feel Like Getting Hot Under the Sheets? New Book Shares Why Sex is Always on Our Minds
With sex holding such a prominent place in the human experience, Dr Jasmine’s new book – Love, Demystified, takes readers on a unique journey into better understanding that there’s so much more to love than what happens under the sheets, in the back of the car, or on the kitchen table. You will learn all about the timeless, and modern love the soulmate, the muse, the dark passion, the one night stand, love as a drug and so much more.
When you are "vibing" with someone, you could feel great or you might sense that they are toxic, right? But did you know, that the ‘vibes’, or ‘vibrations’, are the actual tangible essence of the universe – that energy which connects all entities. Published on the 2d of July, 2024, Love Demystified by Dr Jasmine (who writes under a pseudonym) enthralls readers as she sets out her intriguing beliefs around how Love, God and electromagnetic energy are all one of the same thing; using school level physics to demonstrate her claims.
If you’ve had enough of ordering your next lover, like a pizza, from a dating App, or treating your ‘faulty’ partner like a washing machine (isn’t it so much easier to get a new one than to repair an old one?), then Love, demystified, will show you how to nurture a lifelong relationship that transcends the act of sex and opens participants up to the deepest and infinite layers of a person. Whilst also leading to the highest levels of lovemaking pleasures.
Dr Jasmine explains, using the rainbow as a metaphor, that romantic love should be tasted in all its multitude of colors and hues. Not only the red color of passion and the yellow of joy, but also the greens of envy and jealousy, the blues of depression, the purples of betrayal.
And as an accidental by product, embracing love in this way also results in you finding, and accomplishing, your life’s purpose.
Love, demystified is an idiosyncratic book that combines science and fiction, philosophy, poetry and some original art, to answer all your questions about love; the meaning of life; the design and the purpose of the universe.
Why do we love sex so much? Who is God and where is he? How to maintain passion in a long-term relationship and experience the highest levels of pleasure? What is the structure, function, and the meaning of every entity in the Universe, and what is your place amongst them? These, and many other questions, are answered.
Sharing four chapters entitled Universe made easy; The anatomy of love; The colors of love; In love with the Universe, this book is volume one in Dr Jasmine’s planned series – “The Human Condition”.

About the author
Dr. Jasmine
1 book51 followers Dr Jasmine is a practicing family doctor. Her career spans almost 30 years, during which time she has worked in Europe, the USA and finally, over the last 20 years, in the UK. All in all, she has supported and treated about a third of a million people of all ages, races and religious backgrounds, and from every walk of life.
She feels privileged that her vast experience has offered her some valuable insights into the joys and struggles of us humans. Dr Jasmine feels that all too often, the kind of help/guidance that her patients need is either not available within the mainstream healthcare system, or worse still, that societal make-up is a large factor in her patients’ troubles.
Dr Jasmine is passionate about sharing what she has learned on a greater scale – via her books. But her writing is daring, thought-provoking and controversial, so she chooses to write under a pseudonym.
The Human Condition series will comprise eleven volumes.
The first volume – Love, Demystified – is now available for sale. The second volume-This Is Who You Are- an ambitious book that aims to find answers to humanity's greatest problems from the point of view of human nature- is the one she is working on now. The rest of the books within the series (at different stages of development) are as follows:
Illness, demystified
The Predetermined Universe
The Art of Treatment and Treatment Through Art
Your Life: It’s all about the energy
The Language of Love
Your Face, Your Shape, Your Health
Society through the Eyes of a Doctor
The Universe of Spirits
Gardening for Peace
Dr Jasmine’s husband is a doctor too and is very supportive of her work. They have two children, and the family resides in a rural part of the UK.

‘The universe seems neither benign not hostile, merely indifferent.’ (by Carl Sagan)
This was a quote I picked up from the book ‘Love Demystified’ by Dr. Jasmine which, by the way, is one of the most unique books written on the topic of romantic love. It is a wonderful book and quite revelatory, especially for those readers out there who are in a romantic or amorous relationship currently. But coming back to the quote by Carl Sagan. I think only one contention I would like to make where this book is concerned is in relation to the aforementioned quote.
I have always been a great fan of Carl Sagan and his Cosmos Series along with reading all his books while as a teenager back at school, and the thing is that not only the universe, sometimes it is necessary for even human beings to be as indifferent or ‘distant emotionally’ as possible to their surroundings for a better state of health in mind and body, period. I normally am indifferent to everything around me, even when I am involved in active service to the LGBTQIA+ community or the sexually abused, or the students whom I teach especially those from troubled backgrounds, because I’ve realized that you really tend to complicate matters and mess things up when you start putting too many feelings into your work and everyday life. So, I prefer being indifferent like Carl Sagan’s aforementioned universe.
So yes, I personally believe that romantic love is a waste of time and effort and that being indifferent and yet serving others in need or let us say ‘being distant and yet serving others in need’ works for me and keeps me healthy and more productive. I don’t feel one needs to be physically in a relationship with a person to truly be in love with a person, but that is just my point of view as a person who is in the process of becoming a Consecrated Virgin in the Roman Catholic Church. I am sure many readers will have other points of view and opinions related to a number of topics in this book, but having said that for those who DO revere their romantic liaisons and take them pretty seriously, this is a great book for you to better that relationship or make it even richer than I am sure it already is.
Romantic Love is one way of finding God and looking at God for sure, but I hardly think it is the only way one finds the Divine. For those of you who have found in your spouse or lover or in an otherwise casual relationship or even in your best friend – someone who is the mirror reflection of what you deem to be yourself – flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood - and that you feel you wish to be in a loving relationship with this individual forever, then do check out this book by Dr. Jasmine and give it a go.
It is a very brave and beautifully researched book on a perennial hot topic that can never go stale because, everyone is falling in and out of love practically all the time – so to aid you to understand the many colours of the rainbow of romantic love, this is the book for you! Some of you who are hard-core feminists like me or forever supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community like me may find the gendered ideas related to copulation a bit difficult to digest, but you’ll understand by and by what Dr. Jasmine is trying to get to the bottom of through the linking of nature with animals to then human beings, etc.
So, there are points of debate in the book, but that is what a great book is all about right? It gives you the scope to deliberate, reflect over, evaluate and then share your opinions and experiences with others through the medium of the content in the aforementioned book. Nothing is concrete or written on tablets of stone; it is just for you to experience, talk it over and work things out for the better of all.
I get perturbed by those books that just say – ‘This is It’ – ‘Take it or leave it’ – I feel affronted by these books especially when they are then debunked, just one year hence of their publication, by another book! That really makes the hole in my nun’s habit pocket feel deeper than it is, but Dr. Jasmine’s book is not like that. She has left the topic open for discussion and debate, and I think more people should read this book and then enter into an interaction about this crucial topic of love that literally is right on the life support system where our world is concerned!
For those of you who are physics buffs you will find a lot of physics in this book that will really intrigue you about the way people emote, love, or hate each other. I loved all the paintings done by the talented author herself in this book, especially the painting of the lilies; you got to check the symbolism of that one out! I also loved her Western Classical music recommendations, and I adored her many references to one of my favourite books of all time, that is, ‘Nana’ by Emile Zola.
My favourite part of the book was when the colour black was being explained because I really could feel the soul or souls of India’s many red-light districts sex workers throbbing through the pages and appearing within my own line of inquiry. I had never thought of romantic love or the lack of it in that manner – so brilliant job done there, Dr. Jasmine!
The book is dotted with several useful, inspirational and even motivational love quotes or love related quotes, and even some on religion, my favourite being the one by Epictetus – ‘All religions must be tolerated…for every man must get to heaven in his own way.’
The book was a fast read, especially when the rainbow colours of love started to be explained and that white color can really be a tear-jerker for even a very unemotional person like me, so do check that color out ASAP.
Dr. Jasmine easily gets 5 stars from me!
Lots to debate about from a feminist perspective but otherwise, I give this book a thumbs up! Grab your copy of this book today! Let us start the discussion with Dr. Jasmine.

This book is now the BEST it has been my good fortune to review!!!
.
It happened in my life after I had friended the author and engaged in a telling exchange of emails that helped solidify my thoughts on love, while concurrently buying it and perusing its pages.
At first I was put off by Dr Jasmine's mystical language, a language I had embraced at first in my life - but then, as it was then the language of mystical delight I had read of in the Seventies, had been envious of!
You see, under an aura of intense reconditioning, my life was a surivivor's dog's breakfast.
So then the Spanish mystics made me, until my returning to the Church in 1984, hard shelled. But aren't we all like that now?
But, get this, my hard shell enabled me to justify my conversion logically - so for the next 50 years I was like a fish outta water! I had no real emotions.
This book was the missing link back to innocence. An innocence of thought I had renascently recovered by years of close relationship with my forever wife.
Now, early this year, I took it public!
My wife has NEVER been afraid of speaking her mind and expressing her emotions. I thought: why not do the SAME?
So I did. I clearly now saw that our neighborhood lives either for the quick gratification of communication or for a reconditioned rejection of it.
If you reject instant pleasure, I thought, you must be a loner.
But, I was in fact neither hedonist nor loner. I was part of God's objectively universal vision of loving affection.
And the serendipity of that insight came when I read Dr. Jasmine's book. If she sees it, I thought, others must see it too!
This book is complex - meandering through the same theoretical neighbourhood vistas I have seen - but it will bring you to enhanced health and wholeness.
If you work with it closely, and trust the writer as I have...
My FAVOURITE Non-Fiction Book of 2024!

This was a truly enlightening read. Thank you to Dr. Jasmine for tackling such a dynamic and complex subject as love then decoding it in such a modern and approachable way. The book already has me deep in introspection and I look forward to applying what I have learned towards strengthening my marriage.

You feel satisfaction if you know your passion from the perspective of your feelings.

Dr. Jasmine’s Love, Demystified is a beautifully written exploration of love in all its forms—romantic, spiritual, and erotic. Blending science with soul, she offers fresh insights into how love works as both a feeling and a frequency. This book is poetic, empowering, and deeply human. A must-read for anyone seeking clarity, connection, or healing in matters of the heart.
August 17, 2024
If copies of Love, Demystified were kept handy hung on walls in boxes marked “In Case of Emergency, Break Glass,” there would be broken glass everywhere. Too many people have gotten too busy, too distracted, too lazy for love—by this I mean real love, meaningful love, the level of love that can take you places you otherwise wouldn’t imagine for yourself, wouldn’t expect to achieve. Too many of us don’t go looking for it because love takes effort, commitment, an investment of oneself deeper and broader than the quick fixes of a world gone cyber.
The ‘net, for sure, is a love stealer, especially its dating sites, one for every preference it seems: income, race, gender, political leaning, religion, fetishes…but none dedicated directly to a quest for actual love. Fulfilling love. Love that makes your cup runneth over. Many seem to have lost their way in terms of what is truly meant by being in love, staying in it, building with it. Creating something wondrous through its magic.
Love, Demystified, like the North Star, can guide you through these dark, directionless times.
It begins by explaining love as a wavelength, an energy force plugged into a giant grid tying in with all other wavelengths, all the energy that has ever existed through time and space. This gives you a “reason for being” beyond only yourself, beyond “the now” of your life in its present tense. As the author explains, love is strength and purpose. Love is timeless. Godly even.
Next, Love, Demystified explores love as like a prism, as like a singular heavenly light created from many different colored ones, facets. For instance, love in terms of trust, passion, romance, faith, what is given, what is taken, and more. Together, they create that one true light. The power of love. The gift. The way.
Right off, I see this book for study groups to share, discuss, and learn. What a hell of a dating site it would make: Men and women deep-diving into the meaning and potential of love, meeting others drawn there too, forming bonds, pairing up, growing closer, emerging as couples on quests beyond the things in love’s way.
Love, Demystified is presented in an intriguing, multi-faceted manner—thoughtful narrative combined with original artwork, poems, quotes, even a soundtrack (i.e., suggested music selections.) And let’s not forget the graphs. The author, being a doctor, included those as well.
Hold hands with somebody special. Wade into Love, Demystified. Immerse yourselves. Each other. Emerge as one. Changed forever. New and improved.

I found this book almost by chance, it intrigued me and I started reading it. And as I read it, I discovered that the author Dr. Jasmine, tackled the subject of love across the board. Exploring love through science, philosophy and human relationships. She offers different perspectives on relationships, talking about the strong passions that overwhelm you, moving on to the short ones, making the reader think about what love is and why we behave the way we do.
The book has clear and defined topics, there are illustrations and famous quotes, metaphors. The author worked very well, and I think putting so much material together was not easy.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know and explore the different aspects of love, the human connections with all their nuances and colours.

This is such a beautiful book! Dr Jasmine has created something our world sorely needs. This book has the answers to many of our questions about love, as well as wonderful poetry, insightful quotes, and lovely art. I was immediately immersed. This is a book that I will keep and refer back to. I can't wait for more from you Dr Jasmine!

Love, Demystified is one of those rare books that does not attempt to beautify love or reduce it to formulas. Instead, it approaches the subject with an honesty that feels almost disarming.
The author speaks of love the way one speaks of a familiar wound—gently, carefully, yet without denial.
What impressed me most is how the book treats love not as a perfect emotional state, but as a profoundly human experience—full of fragility, contradictions, and the quiet chaos we carry inside.
The stories scattered throughout the chapters feel like fragments of real lives, small windows into moments where affection meets fear, longing meets hesitation. In each narrative, there is something that reflects back at us, even when we wish it wouldn’t.
The writing strikes an unusual balance: psychological without being clinical, literary without becoming abstract. Some passages read like case studies, others like scenes rescued from a novel. This blend gives the book a depth that feels genuine rather than constructed.
If anything, the author’s reflections can sometimes feel too certain, too universal. A few generalizations lean more toward philosophy than psychology. Yet even in these moments, there is sincerity—the kind that emerges from long observation rather than from theoretical distance.
Ultimately, Love, Demystified does not succeed because it explains love; it succeeds because it acknowledges what love truly is:
a force that wounds and heals, reveals and conceals, destabilizes yet makes us feel profoundly alive.
A thoughtful, unvarnished, and deeply human exploration of the emotional landscapes we often fear to name.

The stories scattered throughout the chapters feel like fragments of real lives, small windows into moments where affection meets fear, longing meets hesitation. In each narrative, there is something that reflects back at us, even when we wish it wouldn’t.
The writing strikes an unusual balance: psychological without being clinical, literary without becoming abstract. Some passages read like case studies, others like scenes rescued from a novel. This blend gives the book a depth that feels genuine rather than constructed.
If anything, the author’s reflections can sometimes feel too certain, too universal. A few generalizations lean more toward philosophy than psychology. Yet even in these moments, there is sincerity—the kind that emerges from long observation rather than from theoretical distance.
Ultimately, Love, Demystified does not succeed because it explains love; it succeeds because it acknowledges what love truly is:
a force that wounds and heals, reveals and conceals, destabilizes yet makes us feel profoundly alive.
A thoughtful, unvarnished, and deeply human exploration of the emotional landscapes we often fear to name.

If you want a good book that keeps you reflecting on your life, read Love, Demystified. I was captured from the first word and I took my time. I found myself stopping, reflecting what I read, and smiling with each reflection and thought. I loved it and I am so grateful [ got the chance to read it. This will be a reread for life I am sure.

Love, Demystified" by Dr. Jasmine offers a refreshingly unconventional look at relationships by treating love as a fundamental force of nature rather than just an emotion. The author combines philosophy with concepts from physics—like resonance and vibration—to argue that love, God, and electromagnetic energy are essentially the same thing.
Instead of offering standard dating advice, the book explores the idea that every person has a "natural frequency" and that finding a romantic partner is crucial for fulfilling one's life mission. It also dives deep into the "mechanics" of passion, suggesting that a mix of pain, uncertainty, and pleasure is biologically necessary to maintain a spark long-term. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in a more spiritual and scientific take on why we connect with others

This book was truly unique and powerful exploration of love, unlike anything I’ve read before. The book beautifully blends science, philosophy, and poetry, offering profound insights into the nature of love and its connection to the larger universe. Dr. Jasmine’s writing is both engaging and thought-provoking, taking readers on a journey that challenges traditional notions of attraction, passion, and spirituality.
The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and add a stunning visual element that complements the text perfectly. The book’s concept of love as a spectrum, or a “rainbow,” resonated deeply with me, encouraging me to reflect on the different dimensions of love in my own life. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of love and relationships.

Favorite Quotes:
“Whatever the shade of green we experience towards our loved one – envy or jealousy or both – those are challenging times. You might be lucky to acquaint yourself with only a drop of each that vanishes from your soul very fast… well, once the universe is satisfied you’ve had the awareness of them in any case.”
“Our entire lives – including the choice of profession, the choice of where to live, etc. – are centered around our search for love. We might be immediately aware of it or only recognize it in retrospect. Why is romantic love so important for us humans? Let us consider what are the main needs of a human animal and other animals and compare them.”
“We’ve become conditioned to expect instant gratification. Sometimes, we treat our lover
as if he were a washing machine! It’s much easier to get a new one than to repair an existing one, right? So once the color blue is felt, it quickly leads to purple and that’s the end of the love story for many of us; we move on…”

Gems of wisdom on every page.
Dr Jasmine beautifully describes the dynamics of our energy and vibration—our connection to the universe and to each other—through the lens of romantic love. Creatively blending the colors of the rainbow along with scientific insight, she guides readers toward finding purpose and deeper meaning in life.
(And the suggested music cues throughout are absolutely delightful.)

This was an interesting nonfiction that was a deep dive into different aspects of love.
It is a very short book and quick read. Some chapters like the chapter on the colors of love were more interesting than others.
It discussed items in a way I never thought of and I really like when these type of books make me think. The author is coming out with a book focused on mental health

Taste the Colors
I was hooked from the very first page of Dr. Jasmine's book, "Love, Demystified.”
She opens with this perfect little metaphor, “Romantic love is a rainbow, and you’ve got to taste all of its colours,” which sounds a little wild at first but it’s actually quite beautiful and it totally sets the vibe for the whole book.
This isn't just some dry self-help relationship guide. It's... a mashup of everything. She pulls from psychology, and philosophy, and there's poetry, and she even goes into physics. A book like that shouldn't work but this one totally DOES. She connects these tiny, personal moments of human connection to these huge, cosmic ideas about how the universe works. It's really and truly mind-blowing.
And the little quotes and stories she sprinkles in everywhere aren't just for decoration. They actually help these big, complicated ideas click in your head, making it feel intimately personal.
The best part is it's super smart and researched but doesn't feel like a textbook at all. Dr. Jasmine writes like a really wise friend who's just summarizing the important stuff for you, right when you need to hear it and I feel like that gives everything so much more weight.
Seriously, this book will challenge you to think about love on a totally different level. It’s about this deep, profound connection to other people and... well, to everything. It made me stop and just rethink my entire understanding of love and sex and what it all means.
“Love, demystified,” is not just informative—it’s a perspective shift. It’s smart, it’s emotional, it’s... ugh, it's just SO good. I highly recommend reading it.

I approached Love Demystified with a mix of curiosity and skepticism—skepticism because, as a gay Jewish man, I’ve read far too many “universal” relationship books that quietly assume everyone is straight, married, and celebrating. But she eventually did win me over. Her use of metaphors helped explain some of the technical jargon. Especially how she used the rainbow and how passion is red- joy is yellow jealously is green and sadness blue. I found the book to be spiritual and hopeful. Wow for the use pictures and graphs. They were exceptional. I understood the theory about us all being part of the universe, but I never equated that with love. Also having poems and quotes, gave the book levity. The list of quotes by famous people was diverse because she included- Plato, Albert Einstein, and even Ruben Blades. As a gay man I especially liked the Oscar Wilde quote-A Man’s face is his autobiography while a woman’s face is her work of fiction. The term frequencies was used throughout the book and gave me a different perspective about love. I love the idea of listening to Tchaikovsky while reading some passages.

A unique and inspiring combination of science, philosophy, poetry, and art. The book is well-argued, educational, and emotional, and the illustrations, along with the many quotes from figures in science and the arts, add extra value to the text, enhance its overall impact, and give it even more weight. The thorough research is evident, and the fact that the author has managed to cover so much material, synthesize it, and present it in a way that is engaging and understandable for everyone is impressive. I also liked the author's choice to present the information, shortening the distance with the reader, telling them like a friend, summarizing and reminding when necessary to reinforce understanding. Last but not least, this is a book that provokes reflection on love and all its facets, its stages and different shades, its power, and the human connection with everything around them. Definitely a book that offers new perspectives for thought. A true discovery and a pleasure to read.

Right from the beginning Dr. Jasmine draws the reader in with a direct and personal approach. This book takes the ever elusive and abstract concept of "love" and offers a well-defined and profound description that connects us to the world around us. The book beautifully weaves poetic language, engaging examples, and real-world applications into a book that makes sense of something we all experience. I truly enjoyed reading this book. It kept me engaged in thoughtful contemplation as well as giving space to fully digest the ideas through a variety of lenses. I highly suggest this book!

A comprehensive examination of love.
Dr J expounds her beliefs on the nature of love and passion. A dense read , the book will provoke deep thought on the subject by those interested in the nature and origin of love and passion . Her book is augmented with excerpts from the books of great authors and even has suggested music to listen to while reading various chapters to get the reader into the frame of mind to better grasp the concepts being explored.

Thank you for this ARC!
This book was educational and made me see new perspectives on things. I never really thought about love and sex in this way. She is a truly wonderful author and I loved working with her to review this book.
I would definitely recommend this book to any reader for a new light on these topics!

Love, Demystified (Human Condition) is a refreshing attempt to strip love of fantasy and examine it as it actually shows up in real human lives. Rather than selling romance or quick fixes, the book looks calmly at how attachment, fear, expectation, and unconscious patterns shape the way we relate to others.
What works particularly well is its refusal to moralise. Love is not framed as something we “get right” or “fail at,” but as a complex human process that reveals our conditioning, wounds, and capacity for awareness. This makes the book feel honest and grounded, especially for readers who are tired of idealised relationship advice.
The writing is reflective and clear, inviting the reader to pause and observe their own relational habits without shame. It doesn’t promise transformation overnight, but it does offer something more valuable: clarity. By demystifying love, it opens the door to more mature, conscious, and less reactive ways of relating.
This book will resonate most with readers interested in psychology, self-inquiry, and emotional maturity rather than romantic escapism. It’s not about how to “win” at love — it’s about understanding what love reveals about being human.
Recommended for anyone who wants to relate with more honesty, depth, and self-awareness.

A Journey Through the Universe of Thought
Reading the book "Love, demystified" felt like moving between science, philosophy, and the human experience. Along the way, the author raises questions: What is the meaning of life? What is love?
The author, Dr Jasmine, weaves together ideas from Plato, Socrates, Pascal, Stendhal, Balzac, and Oscar Wilde, prompting the reader to reflect on the interplay between emotion, reason, and connection.
Oscar Wilde’s quote: "Between men and women, there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love—but no friendship."
Albert Camus's quote: "There is scarcely any passion without struggle."
Pedro Calderón de la Barca: "When love is not madness, it is not love."
This book is a treasure trove of wisdom, a collection of ideas that invite you to pause and reflect. But it’s not only the philosophy that makes it shine. The author’s illustrations add colors, making the pages feel personal.
It's a beautiful, thoughtful work that leaves you feeling wiser and more human.

This book offers an interesting exploration of love—its significance, its complexity, and the ways it shapes our lives. The author delves into the subject with poetic, almost philosophical reflections and includes many relatable citations, creating a unique and engaging reading experience. However, for my taste, some parts felt a bit too abstract. I would have appreciated a stronger connection to reality through practical examples or real-life scenarios to ground the concepts and enhance relatability.
Given the importance of love in our lives—and the challenges real love and healthy relationships face in today’s world—a deeper look at the obstacles love encounters and how the modern world impacts our ability to love and trust would have been a valuable addition. While love is undeniably abstract and experienced uniquely by each person, a few in-depth, concrete examples might have helped bring the themes closer to the reader.

Love, Demystified is unconventional and imaginative. It explores what love really is—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Dr. Jasmine blends basic physics, philosophy, personal reflection, and even art to argue that the “vibes” we feel with others are real energetic connections that shape our relationships. She urges readers to move beyond the culture of disposable romance and instead embrace the full spectrum of love’s colors—from passion and joy to jealousy, melancholy, and vulnerability.
What I liked about the book is the daring mix of science and spirituality in a non-preachy way. Whether or not you agree with all of Jasmine’s theories, her ideas about nurturing long-term connection and experiencing love in its deepest, most transformative forms are interesting to think about. This book is a welcome change from the conventional surface-level intimacy and an invitation to rethink what it means to truly connect.

Dr. Jasmine provides a cosmic perspective on love, tying in the psychology, physics, and our deepest, darkest needs and desires.
She provides clear illustrations for the physics concepts, along with gorgeous abstract art for the love concepts.
I found myself staring at many of the illustrations, seeking additional or hidden meanings, for there are many. The art guide at the back is useful, make sure to reference it and go back through the book a second time.
Most of all, I could feel the love Dr. Jasmine put into the book, the hope for its reader to experience warmth and insight. I don't think I've read a single volume with so many profound quotes.

This is not a book about love as comfort.
It is a book about love as force — physical, emotional, metaphysical.
Through philosophy, poetry, colour symbolism and narrative fragments, Love Demystified explores desire, jealousy, pain, devotion, and the strange ways love both elevates and destabilises us.
What stayed with me most is the idea that love is not meant to be safe or simple, but alive — constantly moving between pleasure and suffering, fear and trust, chaos and harmony.
This book doesn’t offer advice or reassurance. It offers recognition.
If you are interested in love not as romance, but as energy, polarity, and human truth, this book will speak to you.

I can see a unique blend of science, philosophy, metaphysics, and human experience, using romantic love as a central lens through which to explore the universe and the meaning of life. The author draws on physical concepts such as waves, frequency, and resonance to explain how humans connect with one another and with the universe, then extends these ideas to love, passion, and happiness. The book does not impose absolute truths but instead invites readers to reflect on their own "frequency" of living. It is an emotionally rich work, well suited to readers who enjoy interdisciplinary thinking and who are searching for deeper meaning in love and existence.

Dr Jasmine has brilliantly, taken on a complex, intangible subject by successfully drawing on learning from the greatest thinkers as well as her own experiences. The book is challenging, but also important, breaking away from the current glass-walled understanding of what love 'is'. Everyone should read this to understand their own losses and confusions, and to see why conventional 'old fashioned' explanations fail to describe the full spectrum of gender and sexuality. This is ground-breaking stuff.
