Attached
Amir Levine & Rachel Heller
Attached is the book that brought adult attachment theory out of the academy and into the bookstore. Levine, a psychiatrist, and Heller, a writer, walk through the three primary attachment styles — secure, anxious, and avoidant — and how they show up in adult relationships. The framework is simple, the writing is direct, and the application is unusually practical for a self-help book.
Why I recommend this one
Couples come to my office and spend the first session telling me they fight about the dishes. By the second session we're usually talking about attachment. This book gets them to the second conversation faster. It's not the whole story of relationships, but it's a clear-eyed start.
