Klappentext

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.

Zusammenfassung
Amir Levine, MD, coauthor of the groundbreaking, multimillion-copy bestseller Attached, presents a bold new promise—that anyone can learn to create a secure life—and offers cutting-edge tools to make it a reality.

Years after first introducing attachment styles to the general public and forever revolutionizing our understanding of human connection, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine returns with a brilliant, paradigm-shifting work on the science and practice of secure attachment. 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. And remarkably, the latest research shows that anyone, regardless of how insecure they may feel, can learn to create a secure life.

The benefits of living in “secure mode” are extraordinary: people tend to be healthier and have a better relationship with their health care providers. 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 of its negative impacts.

In Secure, Dr. Levine presents his pioneering approach, Secure Therapy and Coaching, offering practical, neuroscience-backed tools to help readers cultivate security so that they can thrive. Secure is the definitive guide for anyone looking to improve their emotional health, deepen their connections, and build more fulfilling lives.
