I found this book to be incredibly helpful, to the point that I’ve strengthened relationships to multiple friends in just the short period since I first picked it up. There’s a lot of eye-opening insights that really apply to relationships with friends, parents, coworkers, and romantic partners. I’ve been recommending it to everyone!
I will say it used attachment theory more as a framework to use that’s helpful in understanding yourself and others, but the latter chapters go deeper into other topics and aren’t as attachment theory-heavy. But I’ve already read multiple books about attachment theory, so it was nice to have fresh content that didn’t feel like reading the same stuff I already knew.
