Subtitled, "The new science of adult attachment and how it can help you find - and keep - love." The book is appropriate for those who are looking for a happy/healthy relationship, as well as those already in a relationship. The categorization of everyone into avoidant, anxious, or secure attachment styles seems overly simplistic at first, but makes sense as you read. In fact, the entire book is uncomplicated - but not dumbed down. The authors explain how the different styles lead us to behave in various ways in romantic relationships. There are many examples and questions to illustrate the concepts. I have read many, many books on marriage and personality style, and this is probably the most helpful one of all. Even if you don't have problems in your current relationship, the guidelines and ideas will help you understand and improve how you communicate with others. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Lorien Forrest for her review.
