Editorial Reviews

I’m always interested in anything new that Dan Hughes produced. In this case, I think he has produces another fine book . . . I would have no hesitation in recommending it as a self-help book useful not just for those who are having problems in their primary relationships but who would like a better understanding of themselves or an up-to-date account of the usefulness of attachment theory written in a clear and authoritative manner.— Psychologist (UK)

Daniel Hughes has done more here than translate the science of attachment theory to the general reader. He offers readable, thoughtful, practical tools capable of transforming relationships. 8 Steps to Building Your Best Relationships has the power to change your life.— Terry Real, founder of the Relational Life Institute (RLI) and author of The New Rules of Marriage
