Synopses

Attached

Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller examine whether there is a science to love. Drawing on attachment theory, they describe how understanding this field can help people find and sustain love. The book explains that individuals tend to behave in relationships in one of three distinct ways, including an anxious style marked by preoccupation and worry about a partner’s ability to love them back.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Set over one year, the book begins with a devastating event that leads the author to Wendell’s office. It offers a candid insight into a profession typically bound by rules and secrecy. Told with charm, compassion, vulnerability and humour, it also explores the relationship between two therapists and reflects on inner lives and the power to transform them.

Reasons to Stay Alive

At 24, Matt Haig describes his world collapsing and feeling unable to continue living. He recounts how he came through crisis, overcame an illness that nearly destroyed him and learned to live again. Presented as moving, funny and joyous, the book is described as more than a memoir, exploring how to live and love better and make the most of time on earth.
