Discover The Secrets To Building Healthy, Happy and Rewarding Relationships We all want that special 'someone' who's going to love us unconditionally, honour us and accept us for just being who we are. Authentic love and connection are enormously powerful bonds between two people. Unfortunately though, if we've had more than our fair share of bad relationships through our lifetime. Then it can become easy to suspect there's no right person, just many different alternatives of wrong. We have a staggering divorce rate which causes untold damage to the partners and even more so to their children. It is common, perhaps expected, for relationships to suffer from maladaptive patterns over time (it's like a car that needs maintenance) and these are fixable when both partners do the work. Our interpersonal relationships start forming as soon as we're born, and psychologists have studied how those early connections can set the stage for the other relationships we form later in life. The attachment theory argues that a strong emotional and physical bond to one primary caregiver in our first years of life, is critical to our development. Change the way you view every type of relationship you have ever had, and will ever have. Make healthier choices in choosing who to date, and discover a new dimension of connection, where relationships can become an institution for unlimited creativity, fulfilment, intimacy, and love. If you are in a relationship, this book will show you how to examine the unknown path that you'll travel with your spouse, and carefully evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship. If you are single, this book will help you to become clear and define what you want in your ideal future partner - and also what you don't want! The key ingredient to happy and fulfilled people is the quality of their intimate, social, family and professional relationships - nothing else in life comes even remotely close.

“Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times 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 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 readers 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.

This book is about how to heal the aspects that unconsciously get in the way for people to enjoy healthy relationships. While research shows that relationships are the main source of happiness, they can also bring a lot of pain to people's lives. Why does that happen? Because unfortunately it is not all a matter of love. Unfortunately close to half percent of the general population, it means people like you and me, struggle with relationships issues. Now there is scientific information about what causes it and how to go about it so we don't have to continue to hurt each other or spin around in vicious cycle. And that is what this book is all about. Most people think it is a problem of communication, but it is not. That is a symptom. The real problem is the attachment style that people have and the combinations people make. People are complex human beings and therefore so are relationships. Most people have complex psychological histories that are far from ideal and without self awareness and some work, they are prompt to just repeat those patterns and get in their on way. That is what this book is all about. About awareness and if you are motivated enough you can follow the pathway to change the aspects that you can and accept with compassion the ones that we cannot (about your and your partner).In this book you won't find quick fixes, magic solutions or easy steps that will get you the love you want right after you finish reading it. There are plenty of excellent books out there by the experts in the relationships field. The problem is that most people cannot follow the wonderful advice because there are some deeper underlying issues that need to be addressed before that: your attachment style. In general, your attachment unconsciously determines your thoughts, needs, emotions ...so in the same way that people can't just stop drinking or using drugs, in the same way people can't just follow the advice from a book. That would be great! We need some preparation work, so you don't end up defeated or more frustrated.That is why this book different: It contains basic and powerful information about how attachment theory explains the way we feel and behave in relationships, how even though certain matches don't seem to be what we want at first sight might be what we need in the end, and the pathway with many exercises to put in practice individually and with a partner (if available) to achieve long term results. So the love science made it simple for anybody to get a quick grab of it and hands on practices to start working right away... you won't get lost understanding the deep concepts and give up half way.And finally, because you won't find all the solutions by reading this book, it provides you with enough awareness and information through out so you can determine if professional help is needed and how to look for it. Let's be realistic, not most people will get the results wanted just by reading a book (some will), but you will definitely gain understanding of the problem and options to solve it.Our style of attachment affects everything from our partner selection to how well our relationships progress to, sadly, how they end. That is why recognizing our attachment pattern can help us understand our strengths and vulnerabilities in a relationship. An attachment pattern is established in early childhood attachments and continues to function as a working model for relationships in adulthood.Ah! and if that isn't enough.... let me tell you that by improving your attachment style, you won't only improve your relationships but your overall wellbeing. A secure attachment style significantly determines your health, happiness and capacity for finding balance in life. So get it now and once for all find out why you are the way you are and some aspects of your life don't go the way you wish.
