Summary

Discover the secrets to building healthy, happy, and rewarding relationships.

We all want that special someone who's going to love us unconditionally, honor us, and accept us for just being who we are. Authentic love and connection are enormously powerful bonds between two people.

Unfortunately though, if we've had more than our fair share of bad relationships through our lifetime. Then it can become easy to suspect there’s no right person, just many different alternatives of wrong.

We have a staggering divorce rate, which causes untold damage to the partners and even more so to their children. It is common, perhaps expected, for relationships to suffer from maladaptive patterns over time (it's like a car that needs maintenance) and these are fixable when both partners do the work.

Our interpersonal relationships start forming as soon as we’re born, and psychologists have studied how those early connections can set the stage for the other relationships we form later in life. The attachment theory argues that a strong emotional and physical bond to one primary caregiver in our first years of life is critical to our development.

Change the way you view every type of relationship you have ever had and will ever have.

Make healthier choices in choosing who to date, and discover a new dimension of connection, where relationships can become an institution for unlimited creativity, fulfillment, intimacy, and love.

If you are in a relationship, this book will show you how to examine the unknown path that you'll travel with your spouse and carefully evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship. If you are single, this book will help you to become clear and define what you want in your ideal future partner and also what you don't want!

The key ingredient to happy and fulfilled people is the quality of their intimate, social, family, and professional relationships - nothing else in life comes even remotely close.

Go ahead, transform the quality of your relationships and make love work for you. Just scroll up and click "add to cart".

Behind relationships

Speaks a good volume about relationships in general. If you are curious about knowing what are the secrets behind every relationship, I bet this is the audiobook that you are looking for. Highly recommended.

Not recommended!

The author has a very judgemental approach to parents and partners. She uses old fashioned gender stereotypes to define relationships “when the man talks about cars you will get bored; when the woman talks about flowers and gardening he will get bored”. She refers to traumatised children as “manipulative” and is parent-blaming. She makes several references to God, which jars with the title of the book ‘the SCIENCE of successful relationships’ and she passes her own misinformed beliefs off as factual. As somebody who has worked in the field of attachment for many years, this book does not represent what is currently known about attachment theory and instead represents the authors own narrow beliefs and views.
