A slightly odd cross between modern psychological study and self-help. Not the type of book I normally read and I'm not sure how it got in my Audible queue, but an interesting listen. The authors (a neuroscientist and a psychologist) look at the three "attachment types" that are identified in children (anxious, secure, and avoidant) and hypothesize that these can also be applied to adults; not only in terms of romantic relationships but also in work relationships (although they talk mostly about the former). It seems a somewhat simplified view of things but still, I've definitely met people who clearly fall into these categories and it was an interesting look at one way of categorizing people's behaviour.

That said, the basics of avoidance types could have been covered in a single chapter; the authors then spend the rest of the book trying to give advice to readers based on what attachment type they have. Unfortunately, the advice seems extremely skewed towards advising "anxious" types. Although there are also two avoidant types (dismissive and fearful) these aren't covered at all, and for the most part avoidant types are only mentioned as something for anxious folks to avoid. It's not a very well balanced book. So, depending on your "type", your mileage may vary a lot!
