I have mixed feelings about this book. Like with a lot of other books, the introduction is intriguing and promising, but the content lacks substance.
I particularly liked the idea that our emotions are being told by the body long before the mind could make sense of them. We feel, and then we think - in the idea that emotions are automated answers to certain situations we're repeatedly exposed troughout our lives.
The attachement teory is intriguing - it's main course: security. And the result of it's absence. There is great importance of having secure/nurturing relationships with parents while growing up, so that you'll maintain a positive image about your value as a human being and a positive image about your future partner and relationship. It discusses the types of attachement styles that lack security and the posibility to overcome it.
The writting style though, it's exhausting, the authour goes back and forth trough the different attachement styles, and mixes them alltogether, so for me it was really hard to extract some clear ideas - adding the fact that the authour has no issue with repeating itself and sometimes making some gruesome exagerations (in the chapter about the neuropsychology of the attachement) to prove his point.
There is some valuable information in this book, but it's best to be armed with patience to get a few valuable informations in.
