Psychiatrist, Author
Amir Levine is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist at Columbia University who researches human attachment. Together with psychologist Rachel Heller, he coauthored Attached, a book that applies attachment theory to adult romantic relationships.
by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller
Levine and Heller translate decades of attachment research into a practical framework for understanding adult romantic bonds through three styles: secure, anxious, and avoidant. They argue that most relationship struggles are not personality flaws but predictable clashes between attachment strategies, and that recognizing one's style (and a partner's) is the key to finding and keeping secure love.
The books Amir Levine and Rachel Heller references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Daniel Goleman
Goleman argues that EQ matters more than IQ for success. Self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation are skills that can be developed and that predict real-world outcomes.
by Robert Sapolsky
Sapolsky argues that humans uniquely suffer stress-related disease because we activate the fight-or-flight response over chronic psychological threats that zebras never face. He traces how sustained glucocorticoid elevation damages the cardiovascular, immune, reproductive, and nervous systems.
by Daniel Goleman
Goleman makes the case that emotional intelligence matters more than IQ for career success. Technical ability gets you hired, but self-awareness, empathy, and social skill determine who leads.
by Daniel Gilbert
Gilbert reveals that humans are remarkably poor at predicting what will make them happy. Our psychological immune system distorts future expectations in systematic, measurable ways.
