Review
'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
'Chock-full of tips, questionnaires and case studies, this is a solidly researched and intriguing approach to the perennial trials of "looking for love in all the right places" and improving existing relationships'
--Publishers Weekly
'Amir Levine and Rachel Heller have written a very smart book: It is clear, easy to read and insightful. It's a valuable tool whether you are just entering a relationship with a new partner or -as in my case - even after you've been married 21 years, and had thought you knew everything about your spouse.' --Mariette DiChristina, editor in chief, Scientific American
'Attached is a fascinating and enormously useful guide to one of life's most important ventures -finding and sustaining a secure, satisfying love relationship. Based on twenty-five years of research, laced with vivid and instructive examples, and enriched with interesting and well-designed exercises, the book provides deep insights and invaluable skills that will benefit every reader.' --Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Davis and Past President, International Association for Relationship Research
'Cinderella's prince passionately turned his kingdom upside down simply to find her perfectly shaped foot, and they lived happily ever after. This book is for the rest of us. Whether already in a relationship or prospecting, Attached is intended to coach the "you" part of "just the two of you". The authors have distilled years of attachment theory research on the nature of human relationships into a practical, highly readable guide, allowing its users to prevent or untangle doomed relationships or predict and enhance those that will wear well and fit for a lifetime.' --John B. Herman, M.D., Associate Chief of Psychiatry and Distinguished Scholar of Medical Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
'This book is both fascinating and fun. Attached will help every reader understand whom they are attracted to as partners, why, and what they can do to reach fulfillment in love. I enjoyed every moment.' --Janet Klosko, PhD., co-author of the US bestseller Reinventing Your Life
'A practical, enjoyable guide to forming rewarding romantic relationships.' --Kirkus Reviews

Format:Paperback
At the end of a turbulent nine year relationship my parents bought this book for me. I was astounded how the book described and explained the everyday problems in my relationship attributing them to a 'clash in attachment types.' Until then I was made to believe by my partner that I was responsible for all our problems and the prospect of separation and the single life was frightening as I now felt worthless. This remarkable book enabled me to identify my partners attachment style(avoidant)as well as my own (anxious) and clearly explained the inevitable and unhealthy clash between them. The book provides fascinating case studies, 'attachment type' tests, coaching on effective communication and invaluable advice for navigating the 'singles market' This book will blow your mind, buy it!

This is the first time I have ever reviewed a book on Amazon but this book has helped me so much that I felt compelled to tell others about it. If only I had read it 2 years ago, it could have saved me so much heartache! For the first time ever I understand what was going on in my previous loving but turbulent relationship. The book has also taught me that it wasn't me that had the problem and that I need to move on, because love does not conquer all and me and my ex are, and always will be, emotionally incompatible. The book also teaches you how not to fall into the same trap again - priceless!

Dear all Review Readers....
I recently split up with someone - fairly mutual because it wasn't working...there were subtle and obvious issues however i wanted to work at it & he wanted to run away - fool of a man.
Anyway, I saw this book in a bookshop but didn't buy it incase it was a read that would make me feel more shame than i felt at the time (some self help books do that right?)...however a few days later the book was still on my mind so i bought it on here and read it within a few days! Life changing read and I have recommended to it loads of friends too.
Its been a breath of fresh air and helped me realise the issues in our relationship were not all because of me (thats how i felt) and there is nothing wrong in wanting closeness and intimacy in a relationship - thats totally normal and i wasn't being unreasonable! He just didn't like getting close and kept me at arms length which kept my anxiety on high alert.
'you are only as needy as your unmet needs' this sentence from the book soothed my feelings of blame and helped me see this recent relationship and previous ones in a new light.
Now, I am also starting to see myself and my normal human needs and rights more positively, and am developing a new secure perspective to relationships & dating too.
Please buy this - if it tickles your fancy, there's a reason why and am sure it will help you too x
