A revolutionary new book from multimillion-copy selling author Amir Levine showing that anyone can rewire their attachment style to live in 'secure mode' — unlocking stronger relationships, better health, greater resilience and a more fulfilling life.

‘A groundbreaking roadmap to emotional resilience . . . Whether you’re anxious, avoidant, or somewhere in between, this book helps you to shift into 'secure mode' and thrive.’
CHARLES DUHIGG, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better

'Secure can help you know yourself better, and self-awareness is the first step towards positive change, in this case becoming more open and relaxed in all your relationships.'
PHILIPPA PERRY, bestselling author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read

Years after revolutionising our understanding of attachment styles, psychiatrist, neuroscientist and co-author of Attached Dr Amir Levine returns with a brilliant, paradigm-shifting work on the science of secure human connection.

As Dr Levine explains in Secure, people with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skins. And remarkably, the latest research shows that anyone, regardless of how insecure they may feel, can learn to create a secure life.

The benefits of living in 'secure mode' are extraordinary: people tend to be healthier and have a better relationship with health care professionals. When they do have a difficult illness, they have fewer symptoms and handle it better emotionally. If they’re looking for a job, they’re more effective in their search and their self-esteem doesn’t suffer as much. They are less susceptible to consumerism. They even navigate social media better and experience fewer negative impacts.

In Secure, Dr Levine presents his pioneering approach, Secure Therapy and Coaching, offering practical, neuroscience-backed tools to help readers cultivate security so that they can thrive. Secure is the definitive guide for anyone looking to improve their emotional health, deepen their connections, and build more fulfilling lives.
