What to expect
Learn how to rewire your attachment style and unlock stronger relationships, better health, greater resilience and a more fulfilling life in the empowering new book from the acclaimed psychiatrist and neuroscientist, and the multi-million bestselling co-author of Attached, Dr Amir Levine.
Years after revolutionising our understanding of attachment theory, Dr Amir Levine returns with a brilliant, paradigm-shifting work on the science of secure human connection.
As Dr Levine explains in Secure, people with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skins.
The benefits of living in 'secure mode' are extraordinary:
· People tend to be healthier and have a better relationship with health care professionals.
· When they do have a difficult illness, they have fewer symptoms and handle it better emotionally.
· If they’re looking for a job, they’re more effective in their search and their self-esteem doesn’t suffer as much.
· They are less susceptible to consumerism.
· They even navigate social media better and experience fewer negative impacts.
The good news is that anyone, regardless of how insecure they may feel, can learn to create a secure life.
In his groundbreaking new book, Dr Levine presents offers practical, neuroscience-backed tools to help you to cultivate security so that you can thrive in your career, relationships, and more.
Written with compassion and warmth, Secure is the definitive, empowering and practical guide for anyone looking to improve their emotional health, deepen their connections, and build more fulfilling lives.

Critics Review

Psychiatrist Amir Levine gives us a set of tools to help us feel more secure in all our relationships, not just romantic ones, but with colleagues, friends, family and even with ourselves. This is not a fanciful book but is grounded in research and neuroscience. I believe if you follow its principles, you will in time become more secure . . . Secure can help you know yourself better, and self-awareness is the first step towards positive change, in this case becoming more open and relaxed in all your relationships
