How Attachment Shapes Our Relationships:
In this book, Amir Levine explores adult attachment as a key element in forming and maintaining love relationships. Levine and co-author Rachel Heller use a scientific approach to show how different attachment styles influence our choice of partners and behavior in relationships.
A Scientific Approach to Understanding Love:
Levine's rich experience in psychiatry and neurology makes the science of love accessible. His research and practical experience are invaluable in understanding how we love and build relationships.
Levine, with his rich background colored by diverse experiences from childhood explorations to collaborations with Nobel laureates, guides us through these emotional waters. He doesn't just present facts; he weaves stories, making the science of love and attachment relatable and vivid.
Imagine understanding why your heart clings to some yet drifts from others, why certain relationships feel like safe harbors while others resemble stormy seas. "Attached" unlocks these mysteries.

The library should contain as much of what you don’t know as your financial means, mortgage rates and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menancingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.
— Read 500 pages... every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.
