Attachment theory is a popular categorization for why your relationships always seem to fail in the same way. Basically, depending on what happened during your childhood, you'll fall into one of four attachment styles: secure, anxious-preoccupied, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant. Secure people are "healthy", able to mix vulnerability and self-sufficiency in equal measure. Everyone else keeps tripping over themselves in some way.

After a brief introduction, this book moves through a summary of basic mindful techniques. You know, when you feel big emotions, acknowledge them, step back, and don't let them drive your words and actions.

It's glossy, it's superficial, it's very Instagram (derogatory). I'm not saying it's wrong... I can see my own dismissive-avoidant traits and why I keep winding up with women with anxiety disorders, it just doesn't offer much beyond that.
