“Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.”
—The New York Times
We already rely on science to inform our choices about diet, exercise, and sleep. So why not apply that same scientific approach to improving our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine, along with Rachel Heller, explores why some individuals seem to navigate relationships effortlessly while others face challenges.
Discover how understanding adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science available—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, attachment theory suggests that we each behave in relationships according to one of three distinct styles:
– **Anxious** individuals often find themselves preoccupied with their relationships and worry about their partner’s ability to reciprocate love.
– **Avoidant** individuals view intimacy as a threat to their independence, frequently minimizing closeness.
– **Secure** individuals are comfortable with intimacy and tend to be warm and loving.
*Attached* guides readers in identifying their own attachment style as well as that of their partner or potential partners. It offers a roadmap for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with those we love.
