Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love by Amir Levine
5.0
Attached was such a great book! My only regret is that I didn't read it years ago.
In Attached, Levine breaks down the three attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, and secure) and gives reasons why someone might align with one style over another - reasons that are rooted in their infant and adult experience, biology, and evolution. It also includes quizzes and worksheets so you can determine your own attachment style and that of your previous or current partner. Finally, the book offers solid tips on how to improve relationships between people of opposing styles and things anxious or avoidant people can do to become more securely attached.
I found Attached to be incredibly eye-opening. I had so many 'A-ha' moments where I realized why a relationship didn't work out, why previous partners acted in a certain ways, and why arguments played out the way they did. I highly recommend this book to everyone whether you're in a relationship or not. It has really changed my perspective. It helped me to accept my attachment style for what it is and taught me that it's okay to be honest about what your needs are and to let go of people who are unable to meet them.
