Synopsis

Everybody wants someone to love and spend time with, and searching for your ideal partner is a natural and healthy human tendency. Just about everyone dates at some point in their lives, yet few really understand what they're doing or how to get the best results. In Wired for Dating, psychologist and relationship expert Stan Tatkin—author of Wired for Love—offers powerful tips based in neuroscience and attachment theory to help you find a compatible mate and go on to create a fabulous relationship.

Using real-life scenarios, you'll learn key concepts about how people become attracted to potential partners, move toward or away from commitment, and the important role the brain and nervous system play in this process. Each chapter explores the scientific concepts of attachment theory, arousal regulation, and neuroscience. And with a little practice, you'll learn to apply these exercises and practical techniques to your dating life.

If you're ready to get serious (or not!) about dating, meet your match, and have more fun, this book will be your guide.

Another surprisingly good book in my research about adult attachment psychology, which involves neurobiology, psychology and more. It’s well balanced and informative in examples.

Goodreads review by Sophie on July 03, 2022

I love reading about dating because I think it’s such a silly, frustrating, and interesting thing humans do. This book differed from others given the really tangible tools it offers and a neuro approach always seals the deal for me. Some examples of potential dialogue felt clunky and almost too good......more

Goodreads review by Angela on June 11, 2021

I have only recently discovered "Attachment Theory" and it turned out to cause a tumult of confusion and self-realization. This book was recommended to me by my close friend who happens to be a psychologist and I'm glad I read it. It turns out that I am island-ish and many of the qualities that I've......more

Goodreads review by Tristan on August 12, 2018

I read this to learn more about adult attachment theory. This was recommended to me as a sort of non-shaming, non-pathologizing option written for regular (non-therapist) humans. His classifications of anchor, island, and wave, help you to understand the ways you relate to other people and how other......more
