How the science of adult attachment can help you find – and keep – love Amir Levine,Rachel Heller 9781529032178 Non-Fiction > Family & Relationships Bluebird ǀ Rs 650 ǀ 304pp ǀ Paperback ǀ B Format August 22, 2019 A practical relationship book that promises to help you find and keep love by understanding the science of adult attachment 'A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship.' - John Gray, PhD., bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory - the most advanced relationship science in existence today - can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognise the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.

Walmart and Amazon destroy communities and small businesses. Facebook turns us into addicts while putting our personal data at risk. From skeptical politicians like Bernie Sanders who, at a 2016 presidential campaign rally said, “If a bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist,” to millennials, only 42 percent of whom support capitalism, belief in big business is at an all-time low. But are big companies inherently evil? If business is so bad, why does it remain so integral to the basic functioning of America? Economist and bestselling author Tyler Cowen says our biggest problem is that we don’t love business enough. In Big Business, Cowen puts forth an impassioned defense of corporations and their essential role in a balanced, productive, and progressive society. He dismantles common misconceptions and untangles conflicting intuitions. According to a 2016 Gallup survey, only 12 percent of Americans trust big business “quite a lot,” and only 6 percent trust it “a great deal.” Yet Americans as a group are remarkably willing to trust businesses, whether in the form of buying a new phone on the day of its release or simply showing up to work in the expectation they will be paid. Cowen illuminates the crucial role businesses play in spurring innovation, rewarding talent and hard work, and creating the bounty on which we’ve all come to depend. Author Bio: TYLER COWEN (Ph.D.) holds the Holbert L. Harris chair in economics at George Mason University. He is the author of a number of explanatory and text books, including The Complacent Class, as well as writing the most read economics blog worldwide, marginalrevolution.com. Tyler is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist, has written regularly for The New York Times, and contributes to a wide number of newspapers and periodicals. REVIEWS “[The Complacent Class] provides an open invitation for the reader to think deeply.” —Derek Thompson, The Atlantic “The Complacent Class is refreshingly nonideological, filled with observations that will resonate with conservatives, liberals and libertarians. ... a useful corrective to the conventional wisdom that American ingenuity, sooner or later, will revive a low-growth economy.” —The Wall Street Journal "Cowen’s book… will have a profound impact on the way people think about the last thirty years." —Ryan Avent, Economist.com on The Great Stagnation Pan Macmillan India Rights: Indian Subcontinent ADVANCE INFORMATION The Barcelona Way How to Create a High-Performance Culture Damian Hughes 9781509804405 Business, Finance & Management > Leadership, Motivational Macmillan ǀ Rs 550 ǀ 320pp ǀ Paperback ǀ B Format August 08, 2019 Lessons from the most successful football club on the planet about how to build a winning culture in any working environment.
