Secure

From Amir Levine, MD, coauthor of the multimillion-copy bestseller Attached: What’s the secret to finding success, happiness, and love? You need to feel SECURE.

How do you become more connected to the people around you, without the fear of being hurt? How can you stop overthinking and letting your emotions impair your judgment? Is it possible to learn emotional resilience and truly thrive?

People with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skin. Living life in “secure mode” enables them to cope more effectively with challenges across many areas of life—they’re healthier, less reactive, less driven by insecurity, and better able to navigate setbacks and even social media. It is as though they move through the world with a kind of resilient bubble around them.

In this brilliant, paradigm-shifting work, Dr. Amir Levine, the world’s leading expert on translating attachment science into practice, presents new research showing that your attachment style isn’t fixed. Anyone can become SECURE.

He introduces a transformative framework to help you feel more secure in your career, your friendships, your romantic life, and beyond. Along the way, he makes a simple, revolutionary argument: when you harness the power of secure mode, you can create the life you want.

It’s never too late to become SECURE. This book will show you how.
