So far .. go figure.. this book is giving me anxiety. I definitely have an anxious attachment style. This makes me feel worthless and like I’ll never be in a healthy state of mind. Like the world belongs only to those who have secure attachment. Hopefully there’s a positive ending to this for styles like mine. If so, I’ll come back and give it another star.
A title card comes up for the PDF, but no content. It seems important to have the PDF because it’s referred to in the audiobook when assessing yourself.
there is no balance for weighing the pros and cons of each attachment. there is a bias in favor of anxious attachments since they have larger sections than the other 3 attachments.
Very informational and eye opening.
Straightforward and very helpful book with plenty of real world examples. Not full of extraneous or repetitive info. Highly applicable to everyone in the world to better relate to others from friends to partners.
this is my most favorite audiobook! its changed my life! every part of this book was relevant to my life or someone close to me so i was engaged the entire time. it was like i now had information to take the goggles off and could see everything more clearly, both those im dating and myself. it held a mirror to myself and showed me parts i wasn’t aware of. it helped me get out of the anxious avoidant trap. i’ve recommended this book to at least 20 people, half being men. and pretty much everyone says “where has this book been my entire life!?”. i couldn’t agree more. it helps me whenever i get triggered to ground myself. i’ve reread this book at least 30x. buy it!
If you want to change your relationship for the better this is a must listen.
Reading this book after a relationship started to go south assisted me through the troubled times but also allowed me to look into new career possibilities. This is far from a book but a work of art and an amazing resource for life coaches or therapists. I highly recommend this book for not only personal growth but also a reference and resource for anyone that is struggling with relationship attachment.
This booked helped me during a breakup.
An excellent book. A necessary read to understanding your attachment style and how show up for your partner and yourself in a relationship.
