![]() Along the way, we’ll examine how Levine and Heller’s ideas compare with recent research on attachment styles and include recommendations from other experts on practical ways to improve your relationship. Finally, you’ll learn how to adopt the behaviors of the secure attachment style and use them to make your relationships more fulfilling. Then, you’ll discover the problems that can arise if your intimacy needs clash with your partner’s and how to handle it when they do. In this guide, you’ll first learn how humans generally relate to romantic partners: What are secure and insecure attachment styles, and why do they matter? You’ll then learn more about the three attachment styles, and what your attachment style indicates you need from a relationship. In Attached, psychiatrist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel Heller contend that many of our relationship issues stem from differences in how we perceive and express intimacy-and that, by understanding this, we can achieve greater harmony in our relationships. ![]() ![]() 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Attached ![]() ![]() Usually books centered around romance have little to no plot because the plot is the romance (hardy-har-har) and so I expected cheesiness (there was a little, but I didn't drown.

The (girl) main character does live up to her expectations, not falling head-over-heels for the guy as soon as they meet. When the blurb says the characters are sensible, like Cora, it isn't lying (like many books do). Can love save the day?

I tell the story of how I stood on the sidelines of the LGBT debate for 20 years while working on other issues to somebody who now sees the great harm that the traditionalist view and practices of the church have done to many, many, many thousands of young people and their families. The book is noteworthy because as an evangelical scholar I use an evangelical ethical framework to redefine the issue from being a sexual-ethic issue to being a human-dignity and Christian-community issue. Why should people read yours?ĭavid Gushee: I hope people will read it because it narrates my journey-biblically, ethically, theologically, and interpersonally-from a kind of unthinking traditionalist position to a passionate plea for full equality of LGBT Christians in the church and society. Tim Otto: There is an onslaught of books right now about Christianity and same-sex relationships. He recently published Changing Our Mind: A call from America’s leading evangelical ethics scholar for full acceptance of LGBT Christians in the Church.

Its foiled William Morris wallpaper look and the rather clean and contemporary looking model on the front both hint at a conventional historical novel, which the blurb confirms as set in London in 1870. Apart perhaps from the bottles of Laudanum and Godfrey’s Cordial – ‘the Quietness’ – tucked out of the way on the back. There is little about the way this novel is presented to suggest the dreadful happenings within its covers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Google has shared resources for employers to see their potential pay adjustments based on where they work remotely. ![]() Google, however, will also increase an employee’s pay if they move to a premium plus location like New York or Mountain View, which are two of the top relocation destinations. Yet this approval isn’t a magic ticket-some relocating employees are subject to a pay cut depending on where they choose to work. According to Google, 85% of the 20,000 requests that have been submitted have been approved. But the tiered system has started to rub people the wrong way during Google’s RTO phase.Īs part of its three-day a week hybrid work plan, the company has also allowed workers to request approval to relocate and/or go completely remote. To account for the cost of living, coastal workers in areas like Mountain View are categorized as “premium plus” and paid 15% more than their counterparts in mid-sized markets such as Chicago and 25% more than employees in areas like Raleigh-Durham. Google’s protocol of paying based on location is not new. It’s a huge mistake, unless you’re trying to get those people to quit,” says Bock. Even if Google is trying to be pragmatic with salary changes, these adjustments will only upset employees and lead to people resigning, Bock continues. Pay cuts are “one of the most insulting, emotionally difficult things you can do to an employee,” Bock tells Fortune‘s Beth Kowitt. ![]() ![]() Featuring enhanced photography, hundreds of additional charts, and an index, Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Stitch Dictionary is beautiful, user-friendly, and an endless source of creativity.
