The New Science of Adult

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 psychologist Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle through adult attachment. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that everyone behaves in one of three distinct ways while in a relationship:

Description

The New Science of Adult

Attached is a groundbreaking relationship science book that introduces readers to attachment theory—a psychological model originally developed to explain how children form bonds with caregivers, but later expanded to explain how adults connect in romantic relationships.

At the heart of the book is the idea that every person falls into one of three main attachment styles:

  1. Secure – comfortable with intimacy, trusting, dependable in relationships.

  2. Anxious – seeks closeness, often worries about partner’s love and commitment.

  3. Avoidant – values independence, may feel overwhelmed by closeness or intimacy.

The book explains how these attachment styles develop, how they influence relationship patterns, and—most importantly—how knowing your style (and your partner’s) can help you navigate relationships more successfully.

Through real-life examples, scientific research, and practical advice, Attached helps readers:

  • Understand their own emotional needs in a relationship.

  • Recognize unhealthy patterns or mismatches in dating.

  • Improve communication and emotional connection.

  • Avoid the “anxious-avoidant trap” (a common but unstable relationship pairing).

  • Build or seek out more secure and fulfilling romantic relationships.

The tone is accessible and compassionate, making complex psychological ideas easy to understand for readers from all backgrounds.

Whether you’re single, dating, or married, Attached gives you a powerful toolkit for identifying what you need in love—and how to find someone who can meet you there emotionally.
