⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Wired for Love" by Stan Tatkin is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of their partner's brain and attachment style to build a more secure and fulfilling relationship. This book is a comprehensive guide that combines neuroscience, attachment theory, and emotion regulation to provide practical insights and strategies for improving any relationship.

From the moment I started reading, I was captivated by Tatkin's ability to distill complex scientific concepts into accessible and actionable advice. The ten guiding principles outlined in the book are not only insightful but also incredibly effective in fostering love, trust, and connection.

One of the aspects I appreciated most about this book is its emphasis on creating a "couple bubble" and maintaining a sense of safety and security within the relationship. Tatkin provides practical exercises and strategies for establishing healthy routines, managing disagreements, and dealing with external threats to the relationship.

What kept me up at night was the profound realization that understanding my partner's brain and attachment style could truly transform our relationship. Tatkin's insights helped me see my partner in a new light and gave me the tools to navigate conflicts with greater empathy and understanding.

Overall, "Wired for Love" is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their connection with their partner and build a more secure and fulfilling relationship. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I am grateful for the profound impact it has had on my own relationship.

Wired for Love is a relationship based self help book that explains attachment styles and offers guiding principles to help you and your partner shape a more secure relationship.

I was excited to see that the second edition of this book was going to be published this year because this book was referenced in many of the other books I’ve read about this topic. It was nice to be able to read a foundational text of many concepts and ideas I had come in contact with before. While I had a basic understanding of the topic, this book was full of thoughtful advice and reasoning. I have to admit that many of the scenarios used in this book are a bit on the nose and cringey at times, but they were effective in demonstrating important points. Some of the information may seem obvious, but I think everyone could learn a thing or two about relationships from this work. Wired for Love is also incredibly accessible. The work is engaging and easy to read. Tatkin includes exercises readers can use to apply different ideas to themselves and their relationships with partners.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys self help books, anyone who wants to improve their relationships or anyone interested in how to make a relationship fulfilling and long lasting.

I really enjoyed reading this book and learning more about myself. I normally don't read self help books, but this book opened that genre for me.

Wired For Love. I am sorry but I seem to only have a cover page when I have tried to read this from my bookshelf and I am therefore unable to review it at this time. If it becomes available as a full book I will definitely read it. Thank you

It was an ok book, if you have read books such as Attached or the 5 love languages, many things will sound familiar, if this is your first book I'm this cathegory then I think you will find it informative and enlightening

There are so many things we take for granted when starting a new relationship...We sometimes think we know everything, but this is rarely the case. Reading this book can save you years of disapponitment and pain and helps you understand the "mechanics" of relationships.

Thank you netgalley for letting me read wired for love in exchange for a review.

I can see how someone would enjoy this book. Unfortunately it just wasn't for me. I like these kinds of books however, it can't go too in depth, and it has to keep my attention. Unfortunately, this one didn't keep my attention.

Although this book wasn't for me it still deserves an explanation of what it is about. It is about attachment and how that makes a relationship work. This book has the tools to help a marriage be successful. It helps you navigate the type of person you are in the relationship and how that works with your partner. If you are interested in science and brain function this book is for you as it goes in depth about all those dynamics. I believe that's were he lost me. But that's ok that's just not what I want in a book but others might find this the best book ever for those great details.
