Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory—the most advanced relationship science to date—can help us find and sustain love.

Attachment theory, pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:

Anxious: Often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them.

Avoidant: Equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.

Secure: Feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.

With compelling psychological insight, quizzes, and case studies, Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment types, recognize your own and identify others' styles to find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship.
