" How We Love breaks attachments down to 5 different styles and this book is only 3, but I’m glad I bought it and have gotten tips I wouldn’t have had otherwise! "

" I enjoyed listening to the audiobook "Attached," which I couldn't find elsewhere. It applied the theory of attachment to relationship styles in an easy to understand manner, offering practical and sensible advice. I had been looking for such a book for quite some time. I had a few aha moments when reading the book. "

" This book is written based on the concept that "knowledge is power". No matter which category of attachment you fall under, it's good to know the stupid things you might do due to your attachment category which will hurt others and yourself and therefore, avoid doing them! "

" Interesting book with some points to think about. It wasn't amazing and it didn't leave me feeling like I had learned an incredible amount. It did make me want to look at relationships differently though, and for that I give some kudos to the author. I can very hesitantly (and surely somewhat inaccurately) look at and analyze my own relationships and those of my close friends and family, and look for the behavioral cues they point out. This book DID remind me a little of the axiom "to a hammer, everything's a nail". It seemed like these scientists found a very neat tool, and now seek to explain every possible aspect of romantic relationships using that tool. I'm not smart enough to discount anything they said, but it left me feeling like they tried to hard. I also couldn't stand how they tried to explain our relationship styles based on evolution. It seemed a wild logical leap that we either avoid or seek intimate relationships because we evolved that way. "

" I'm a psychologist in private practice and have recommended this book to quite a few clients. Unlike other self-help books which can really be hit or miss in terms of appealing to a wide audience, this one has been deemed excellent by every person I loaned it out to and several went out and got their own copies so they could mark them up with notes. Great distillation of attachment research into useable insights to help the reader understand their own romantic relationships. Why do I keep getting involved with partners who reject me? Oh- I am an anxious type who has been pairing up with avoidants! How can I know if a partner is securely attached? What are the warning signs that a potential partner has attachment issues? Questionnaires and checklists included. "

" Although it seemed simplistic at first, the breakdown of attachment styles into "anxious", "avoidant" and "secure" made sense, backed up by numerous studies. The book offers tips on dealing with the effective and damaging parts of each style, and is an easy read for anyone interested in how people are attracted to one another, how to find the right person, and how to keep a relationship strong.

" Interesting look at why people act crazy in relationships. Found it odd that at the beginning of the book they said no attachment style is wrong, but then they really emphasize trying to act like the folks who have a secure attachment style. Overall good message of communicate in your relationships. "

" Holy cr@p. I wonder what my life would have been like had I read this book 10 years ago, or even 5. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wonders why all their relationships seem to self-destruct. And to those relationship all-stars? Read it anyway. It will help you understand the people around you. "
