bookshelves: non-fiction

This book is so simplistic that it reads like a personality quiz in a women's magazine. It complexity ignores issues of gender, simply stating that most people of both genders fall into the "stable" category rather than the "avoidant" or "anxious" groups. What would have been more interesting would have been an exploration of why women are perceived as falling more often into the "anxious" category. This book also seemed to ignore the importance of other personality traits that make one person attracted to another and attribute the entirety of a persons choice in mate to their attachment style. Attached was very self-helpy and quite thin on hard science.

Ramiro Diaz the book actually says that more women thann men are secure


Ramiro Diaz the book also doesn't try to go into personality traits since it actually said that the attachment theory was consistent across personalities. I do agree that personality compatibility is a big factor in terms of relationship dynamics. The book is not about that though.
