SpecificationsAbout the Author Amir Levine M.D. is an adult child and adolescent psychiatrist and neuroscientist. He graduated from the residency program at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University and for the past few years Amir has been conducting neuroscience research at Columbia under the mentorship of Nobel Prize Laureate Eric Kandel. Amir also has a passion for working with patients and it is in this context while working with mothers and children in a therapeutic nursery that he first discovered the power of attachment theory. His clinical work together with his deep understanding of the brain from a neuroscientists perspective contribute to his appreciation of attachment theory and its remarkable effectiveness in helping to heal patients. Amir lives in New York City. Rachel Heller M.A. studied at Columbia University with some of the most prominent scholars in the field of social psychology. She now works with families and couples as a psychologist in private practice. Rachel lives in Israel.Author 1 Rachel HellerAuthor 2 Amir LevineBook Description We rely on science to tell us everything from what to eat to when and how long to exercise but what about relationships? Is there a scientific explanation for why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly while others struggle? According to psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller the answer is a resounding yes. In Attached Levine and Heller reveal how an understanding of adult attachment-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: * Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partners ability to love them back * Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. * Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. In this book Levine and Heller guide readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate or potential mate follow offering a road map for building stronger more fulfilling connections with the people they love.Country of Origin IndiaEditorial Review A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship. --John Gray PhD. bestselling author of Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus Chock-full of tips questionnaires and case studies this is a solidly researched and intriguing approach to the perennial trials of oelooking for love in all the right places and improving existing relationships. --Publishers Weekly A practical enjoyable guide to forming rewarding romantic relationships. --Kirkus Reviews Amir Levine and Rachel Heller have written a very smart book: It is clear easy to read and insightful. Its a valuable tool whether you are just entering a relationship with a new partner or-as in my case--even after youve been married 21 years and had thought you knew everything about your spouse. --Scientific American Anyone who has been plagued by that age-old question--What is his deal?--could benefit from a crash course in attachment theory. --Elle This is real science not slickly packaged personal opinion.The theories are clearly explained using lots of examples. There is advice for avoiding unhappy pairings and for getting out of relationships that are doomed to repetitive negative interaction. This could save your customers a fortune in therapy bills. --Retailing Insight This book is both fascinating and fun. Attached will help every reader understand whom they are attracted to as partners why and what they can do to reach fulfillment in love.

SpecificationsAbout the Author Plato c. 427-347 BC was an Athenian philosopher-dramatist. Born into a wealthy and prominent family he grew up during the conflict between Athens and the Peloponnesian states which engulfed the Greek world from 431 to 404 BC. Following its turbulent aftermath he was deeply affected by the condemnation and execution of his revered master Socrates 469-399 on charges of irreligion and corrupting the young. In revulsion from political activity Plato devoted his life to the pursuit of philosophy. Plato founded the Academy an early ancestor of the modern university devoted to philosophical and mathematical enquiry and to the education of future rulers or philosopher-kings. The Academys most celebrated member was the young Aristotle 384-322 who studied there for the last twenty years of Platos life. Their works mark the highest peak of philosophical achievement in antiquity and both continue to rank among the greatest philosophers of all time.Author 1 PlatoFormat PaperbackEdition Number 3Editorial Review "In addition to a vivid dignified and accurate rendition of Platos text the student and general reader will find many aids to comprehension in this volume: an introduction that assesses the cultural background to the Republic its place within political philosophy and its general argument; succinct notes in the body of the text; an analytical summary of the works content; a full glossary of proper names; a chronology of important events; and a guide to further reading.
