Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating still has people firmly in its grip,” reports The New York Times. In our world, science guides our choices in diet, exercise, and sleep. So, why not apply scientific principles to enhance our relationships?

In their groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine, along with Rachel Heller, delve into the science of why some individuals effortlessly navigate relationships while others struggle. They bring to light the concept of adult attachment, the most advanced relationship science to date, showing how it can be the key to finding and sustaining love.

The theory of attachment, pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, suggests that each person approaches relationships in one of three distinct ways. Anxious individuals are often concerned about their relationships, fearing their partner's reciprocation of love. Avoidant individuals view intimacy as a threat to their independence, striving to keep a distance. On the other hand, secure individuals are comfortable with closeness, often exhibiting warmth and love.

'Attached' is more than a book; it's a guide. It helps readers identify their own attachment style and that of their current or potential partner. This understanding paves the way for building stronger, more fulfilling relationships, offering a comprehensive roadmap for deepening the connections we value most
