Your Brain on Love: The Neurobiology of Healthy Relationships Audio CD – Unabridged, July 1, 2013

I have purchased 4 sets of this CD series (3 gifs I purchased after I bought my first one) and have recommended it to many others. I wishI I had this information years ago, but glad I have it now. There are several things I learned about myself and others: how early attachment styles affect relationships, what are skills some people just don't have, how processing speed challenges a relationship, how to keep fight/disagreements short and non-threatening...Dr. Tatkin's style of teaching is easy to listen to. I have listened to this set several times now and plan to listen more. He also makes good suggestions for people who are at the first of an "in love" situation since he stresses being in love is the brain "being on a drug."

Stan Tatkin's books and this audiobook in particular have been very helpful to me. The audiobook is really nice to have in the car. It's like I have a friend who is very smart about relationships sharing their views with me each time I run an errand. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who is curious to know more about healthy relationships.

I do believe that Dr. Tatkin gets it right. I have had quite the self discovery while progressing through these CD's. If you take the undistracted time to absorb this information, even if you don't have a partner willing to share the experience with, you will come out a wiser, better informed human. I wish there were some way to teach everyone these communications. Everyone would get along so much better if they saw the big picture and why we are motivated to do what we do. Relationships are tough enough, there are many distractions and if you can get someone to throw you a life line to a happier, healthier coupling wouldn't you want to take it.

I am a fan and follower of Dr. Tatkin's research and couple's therapy approach. This set of CD's parallels and expands on information in his book, Wired for Love. His extemporaneous style of talking sometimes diverts attention from a core principle and makes it less clear, less easily understood. Since I had read his book and follow his blogs I knew where he was going and could enjoy the journey.

Stan's series, 'Your Brain on Love' Is clear, sometimes even entertaining listening for anyone wishing to illuminate his/her understanding of the Science of Love. 'Brain on Love' provides guidance in understanding oneself as well understanding the ebbs and tides in relationship with significant others, including husbands, wives, lovers, friends, children and family members.Toby Ellen French, Licensed PsychotherapistEmotionally Focused Therapy for Couples

This is one of the best books on understanding how "securely attached" relationships look. It is the only one that actually identifies what people can do to become well attached. It isn't easy to adopt all of the suggestions, of course, but it holds out hope as people heal their way to being able to engage in the ways Tatkin describes. I recommend this for all of my couple psychotherapy clients.

I recently stopping seeing someone and I had a hard time understanding why we became combative when we were so loving and supportive before. This series was enlightening. I thought I was reading this to learn about him but I also learned about me and "us". Although we are not together, I now understand us much more as a couple. I hope someday we will be US again. When that comes I will know US better on how to understand what I am thinking and feeling and why.

Excellent. My husband and I both listened to it during a long drive. He was reticent initially but then thought it was well worth listening to together. It allowed us to have some good conversations. I plan to buy it for my married children for Valentines Day.

Parfait

Most original way of thinking about love relationship and personal history. Puts conflicts in a different light that helps understand partnerships.

Saved my marriage.
