8 Keys to Building Your Best Relationships

by Daniel A. Hughes

Bringing attachment theory essentials to everyday life. A revolution is under way in how we understand the nature of relationships, how we develop in those relationships, and how our brains function synergistically in connection with others. This field is known as attachment theory, and until now most of the cutting-edge insights have been written in "researcher-speak" and reserved for neurologists, psychologists, and others in the healing professions.

Here veteran therapist and specialist in attachment disorders Daniel A. Hughes demystifies the research for lay people. By summarizing in short "keys" the theory and brain science that underpin our ability to form relationships, he skillfully reveals how we can become better friends, spouses, siblings, and children. For anyone interested in how to develop meaningful new relationships or how to deepen and enrich their current ones, this audiobook makes sense of it all.

A good book for individuals with little to know knowledge about attachment. Hughes was important in the world of attachment but I feel like others have surpassed him and used the information in more applicable ways.

Really fascinating and helped me to build a logical perspective on the way I act in different types of relationships not just romantic ones. Highly recommend if you want to get to know yourself better.

Clear, accessible and warm introduction to attachment styles and how to become autonomously attached.

If you want a book to tell you all the reasons you sabotage your relationships with people then have at it. 😒

[Adam Ragsdale · Rating 2 out of 5]

Felt like a text book...not a real page turner.

No rating just because I did read this for school and would’ve never read it otherwise, BUT for anyone who enjoys reading “self-help” books I do recommend this one!

Great book. Listen to the audio book. I will have to go back and re-read the book so I can do some of the exercises outlined in the book. Boy, do I have major communication issues I need to work on.
