Wired for Love (Second Edition)

How Understanding Your Partner's Brain and Attachment Style Can Help You Defuse Conflict and Build a Secure Relationship

De: Stan Tatkin PsyD MFT, Harville Hendrix PhD - foreword

Narrado por: Stan Tatkin

Every person is wired for love differently—with different habits, needs, and reactions to conflict. The good news is that most people's minds work in predictable ways and respond well to security, attachment, and routines, making it possible to neurologically prime the brain for greater love and connection and fewer conflicts. This go-to guide will show you how.

Drawn from neuroscience, attachment theory, and emotion regulation, this highly anticipated second edition of Wired for Love presents cutting-edge research on how and why love lasts, and offers ten guiding principles that can improve any relationship. This fully revised edition also includes new guidance on how to manage disagreements, as well as new exercises to help you create a sense of safety and security, establish healthy conflict ground rules, and deal with the threat of the third—any outside source which threatens the harmony in your relationship, including in-laws, alcohol, children, and affairs.

By using simple gestures and words, you'll learn to put out emotional fires and help your partner feel appreciated and loved. You'll also discover how to move past a "warring brain" mentality and toward a more cooperative "loving brain." Most importantly, you'll gain a better understanding of the complex dynamics at work behind love and trust in intimate relationships.

In depth analysis of why we react the way we do

Anatomically deep analysis of the brain and nervous system as it relates to relationship scenarios. Author’s voice is a little dull, and some of the chapters I would’ve preferred to read than hear. Second edition over-corrected on gender and sexuality inclusivity. But really compelling book, relatable, and insightful if you’re looking to strengthen a relationship or grow for your next one.

Worth every minute

I was asked to read this by my couples therapist and it is something every person needs to apply to their own life and relationships. I have been recommending it to everyone I know.

Great relationship tool

I love the content of this book. my wife wasn't crazy about the Authors voice, but she loves the content too. I'm an Island and she is a wave. We are expanding our skills and vocabulary to strengthen our couple bubble.

The helpful tips to working things out with my partner and understanding why we do what we do and how to try and correct it.

This book was great. Very helpful in trying to understand my partner. And trying to understand our relationship and help our challenges.

Good stuff

Communication skills much better now for sure, no doubt. Would 10/10 recommend this title to anyone needing to work on their communication skills.
