Attached is the internationally bestselling guide to adult attachment theory, co-written by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller. Drawing on relationship science pioneered by John Bowlby, the authors reveal why some people navigate love with ease while others struggle.

This paperback edition of Attached translates decades of psychological research into a practical, accessible guide for anyone who has wondered why relationships feel the way they do. Levine and Heller explain the three core attachment styles - Anxious, Avoidant and Secure - and show how these patterns, formed in childhood, continue to shape how we love, argue, trust and connect as adults. Rather than dry theory, the book is built around real-world case studies and simple self-assessment quizzes that let readers pinpoint their own style and recognise it in partners, exes and friends. The authors argue that understanding attachment isn't about labelling people but about giving couples and singles a shared, science-backed vocabulary for discussing needs, insecurities and compatibility. Anxious readers learn to communicate needs without fear of pushing partners away; avoidant readers learn to recognise their instinct to create distance; and secure readers discover how to support partners with different styles. The book also tackles dating specifically, offering guidance on spotting attachment-style patterns early and choosing compatible partners rather than repeating painful cycles. With over three million copies sold worldwide, Attached has become a go-to relationship resource, as relevant for long-married couples repairing communication as for singles navigating mode
