What Attachment Style Are You? How To Know, Why It Matters, and How To Change It If You Need To | Amir Levine

Hey, welcome to the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. I think about this all the time. We live in a world where we're told that the route to happiness is through the accumulation of money and likes on Instagram, i.e., individual achievement, but in fact we know uh from the science and and just through the basics of evo evolution that we we are wired to derive our happiness through the quality of our relationships.

But nobody's selling us that on on Instagram. Today, though, we've got a fascinating conversation that is going to provoke you to think about what is your attachment style. Like how do you relate to other people and how can you tweak that so that your relationships are better, which will improve your health, both your mental and physical health. My guest is uh the great Dr.

Amir Levine. He wrote a huge bestseller called Attached, and he's now followed up with a book called Secure, The Revolutionary Guide to Creating a Secure Life. We will be right back with Dr. Amir Levine right after this quick break. A few things before we hear from our sponsors, we've got this awesome new series launching soon on my new ish meditation app, 10% with Dan Harris.
