Join us for RBC's August event as we explore this month's theme, Modern Love, via Paul Eastwick's book, Bonded by Evolution.

About the book:

We're told men and women want different things from love: he wants novelty, she wants commitment, he's chasing looks, she's chasing status. Psychology professor Paul Eastwick says this popular "evolutionary" story is unscientific, and sometimes dangerous. Drawing on original research from his own lab, he reveals a more hopeful truth: attraction isn't about hierarchies of 10s and 2s, it's about finding, and often building, real compatibility.

Why we chose it: "Rarely have scientific rigour and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions." - Eric Klinenberg, co-author of Modern Romance

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Your host for the evening: Katherine Sladden

Katherine hosts Bristol meet-ups every other month. Founder of a campaigning non-profit Katherine is passionate about how stories can move people to action. Katherine moved to Bristol four years ago and since then have dived into all the city has to offer. Running with Queens Square Run Club, a director at the Bristol Cable newspaper and most weekends she can be found walking her border terrier Harris out in one of the many green spaces around the city.

Biggest RBC impact: "For me RBC is about meeting new people and being surprised, challenged or moved by what they share. There are not many places were curious people get together just to listen and learn from each other. In my favourite sessions I come away with an idea I hadn't heard before or another book, podcast or film recommendation to follow up on."‍

Her top book recommendations at the moment are:

- A Waiter in Paris by Edward Chisholm

- This is an Uprising by Mark Engler and Paul Engler

- Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
