Publisher’s Summary
“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
We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle.
Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—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 posits 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.
Attached guides listeners in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.
*Includes a PDF of the attachment style questionnaire

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “For those Mourning a Breakup”
This helped me so much to get over a relationship and recognize what I need in a partner.— Audible customer, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Eye opener”
I have been beating myself up for months about my failed relationship with the woman I loved more than anything else in this world. I had gone to therapy with her, I had begged and pleaded, excepted her unilateral decision to move out but yet remain in a committed relationship and still never felt like she was fully open to me. Understanding that she is an avoidant to the T, immediately released the pain and guilt of thinking that I had somehow messed up or ruined our relationship. It is just what her attachment is, I’m not meant to click with that kind of attachment. I only wish that I had found this book earlier so that I could have saved myself from so much unnecessary self doubt and heartache.— Rabbi, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Wish I had known these things earlier in life!”
Really inciteful. Found out alot about myself and my past/present companions. Offers many helpful techniques to improve one’s relationship or decide to move on.— Ricky, Audible listener
