Fantastic

Any additional comments?

Stan Tatkin's presentation style grew on me as I listened. He presents information on relationships from several scientific sources in a compelling, engaging and personable way. I listened twice back to back. This is a great resourse for any couple.

Perfect for me! And so many of us...

This book is all I needed it to be. It puts into words many thoughts and feelings and experiences I had and have. Based on sound neuroscience and biology I can relate to, it explained to me attachment styles in a thorough but yet simple way and wrapped everything together which was very enlightening to me. The author / narrator as a very pleasant voice and reading style. Thank you so very much for this gift of a book ! Highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about him or herself as an individual as well as partner.

Excellent, informative, interesting, and true.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. Great information & Dr Tatkin keeps it interesting the whole time.

Must Read

An intelligent review and great life recommendations. Congratulations to the author for his wonderful presentation, totally a must read book.

Life Changing

Wish there was a hard copy so I can go back and reference all the amazing things.

Required relationship reading

This book provides very practical advice, based in both biology and psychology. I think this approach to interactions can be transformative.

Say it like it is!

Loved the heck out of this one!!!

My God, what a great book on healthy relationships! I shipped out a bunch of copies to friends, some struggling, some thriving. Also, I heard this book on the heels of two other great Neuro-Pseudo books on relationships Dan Siegals We and Hansons On Love. And I gotta say, as much as I loved those, this one is a great capper to the three!!

I am a very strong and passionate Substance Abuse Counselor, Yoga Therapist and a man that loves relationships (going for my MFT). And this book lays down the creative grounds for healthy relationships, the tools to make it thrive together and the empirical data, experiential intelligence and just sheer hindsight to being in a thriving and nourishing relationship.

Bad news for those who are really selfish, this will sound like a crunchy and stale alphabet soup cause ur brain doesn't want to work for healthy dynamics. But good news for u and everyone else, get in some practice and partnerships can get great.

Hope u enjoyed this as much as me-

Helps to understand our impulses and how
to consider a path to what really matters over the long-term.

A must-listen for every couple

My husband and I have been married for 14 years, and we’d read a lot of the typical marriage books out there. Stan Tatkin’s approach is so different and so simple, but it was like a neon sign for both of us. It basically comes down to taking care of your partner and helping them feel securely attached. That’s the bare bones of it. But you need to listen to it to get the full picture. I’d never felt so understood as I did when I listened to the chapter on attachment styles. Mind-blowing, honestly.

This is so easy to listen to as well. Stan sounds like he’s having a conversation with you, almost podcast-like.

I’m going to recommend this to every couple I know, whether their relationship is solid, rocky, or in between.

By far one of the best relationship books ever!

If you could sum up Your Brain on Love in three words, what would they be?

Good, practical advice!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Your Brain on Love?

A number of times I almost expected a light bulb to appear above my head; because I was confronted with one "A-ha!" moment after another as he explained the material. He uses years of relationship counselling experience to give good, solid advice.

He explains complex, scientific brain neuroscience in simple terms with enough information to really help the reader grasp the concept. Then he helps you understand that none of the personality types are "wrong" or "right" and how you can best relate to any of them. I love the simplicity with which he explains these concepts and the practical advice he gives for each.

Any additional comments?

This should be a compulsory book for every person to read. He presents it so well, without judgement and gives such brilliant advice. His ultimate goal is to help people build solid, secure relationships and I believe that he gives the reader sufficient tools to accomplish that.
