'A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship.' – John Gray, PhD., bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers listeners a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking audiobook, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory – the most advanced relationship science in existence today – can help us find and sustain love.
Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:
Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back.
Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.
Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.
With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship.
'For its many, many fans, Attached has been life changing.' - Stylist

Critic reviews
Trust me, This one is true.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. It is the ultimate cheat-code to relationships. In one book, you'll find the secret to happiness. It doesn't boggle the mind with psychoanalysis, nor does it explore mental health conditions. It just tells you how to look at the here and now and understand both your own behaviour and your partner's behaviour, from an attachment style perspective. Even better, it offers sensible advice for those either wanting to improve or leave a relationship and even gives tips on how to change your own behaviour and responses for the better.
Buy this book, read or listen to it it again and again, then give it to your teenaged and adult children. It's a life hack that everyone truly needs to know about.

It has changed the way I look back on why things have not worked out how I would like in the past and the content discussed here will be used to make more informed decisions in future relationships.
I would highly recommend for anyone struggling to make sense of the difficult world of dating and romance.
