Do you always find yourself hoping and praying that your relationship will work while never actually taking the time to enjoy it for everything it is? Are you someone who struggles to trust your partner, constantly overthinks, and ultimately risks pushing them away?

Story
It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Publisher's Summary
Jeb Kinnison's previous book on finding a good partner by understanding attachment types (Bad Boyfriends: Using Attachment Theory to Avoid Mr. (or Ms.) Wrong and Make You a Better Partner) brought lots of people to JebKinnison.com, where the most asked-about topic was how to deal with avoidant lovers and spouses. There are many now in troubled marriages who are looking for help, as well as people already invested in a relationship short of marriage who'd like help deciding if they should stick with it.
People in relationships with avoidants struggle with their lack of responsiveness and inability to tolerate real intimacy. Relationships between an avoidant and a partner of another attachment type are the largest group of unhappy relationships, and people who love their partners and who may have started families and had children with an avoidant will work very hard to try to make their relationships work better, out of love for their partner and children as well as their own happiness. The avoidants in these relationships are more than likely unhappy with the situation as well - retreating into their shells and feeling harassed for being asked to respond with positive feeling when they have little to give.
The other reason why so many people are looking for help on this topic is that it is an almost impossible problem. Couples counsellors rarely have the time or knowledge to work with an avoidant and will often advise the spouse to give up on a dismissive, especially, whose lack of responsiveness looks like cruelty or contempt (and sometimes it is).
Yet there is some hope - though it may take years and require educating the avoidant on the patterns of good couples communication; if both partners want to change their patterns toward more secure and satisfying models, it can be done.

Poor narrative style
It's hard to understand in this narrating tone as a second language speaker. The non for sure is informative. However, i find it really boring to listen to this. I have listened to other book related to attachment, both narrator and organisation of chapter is now structured.

Emphasis on 'Leave'...
I bailed halfway through this book. I'm in a relationship with an avoidant (I'm anxious-preoccupied), and I was hoping to get some insights into how to better interact with them. Perhaps the insights come in the second half (I guess I'll never know!), but I bailed because of the style in which the book is written.
This book had portions that I found aggressive in tone, even calling some readers "stomp-down hypocrites with a capital H". I don't disagree with the point that Kinnison was trying to illustrate in this chapter, however the aggressive tone made me disinterested in continuing. Furthermore, I felt that points made about all attachment styles were at times very harsh to the point of being unfair. Even as someone who is currently frustrated by an avoidant, I felt that the representation of their tendencies is not at all compassionate and therefore, I did not find it helpful in better understanding and interacting with the avoidant in my life. It would have been ideal to read if I was looking to be convinced to leave them.
