His mother was a popular science editor who valued creativity and self-motivation. She allowed Amir to stay home from school whenever he wanted and study what interested him. This sparked a passion for learning. After his compulsory army service, Amir enrolled in medical school at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Here he received many awards. He is now at Columbia University as a Principal Investigator. Levine works together with Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Eric Kandel on a National Institute of Health sponsored research project. He also has a private practice in Manhattan. Introduction Attached investigates the science of love. Understanding your attachment style and your potential partner’s attachment style is key to finding and sustaining love. We have known about attachment styles since the 1950s, but he was investigating them within children. The reality is these attachment styles impact our future relationships too. This book has been translated into 11 languages. StoryShot #1: Attachment Styles Will Help You Understand Your Romantic Relationships Partners will often have different reactions to being away from their loved ones. While one partner may be distressed, the other may be unaffected by time apart. These different responses are related to individual attachment styles. The authors describe attachment as the bond between two people which generally lasts for long periods. The most common attachment often spoken about is the mother-child bond. There’s lots of research suggesting that the attachment style we form with our mother has a big impact on our future relationships. The authors use a study to show this. Researchers wanted to investigate the healing potential of strong attachment. So, they placed female participants in stressful situations but let half of the participants hold their partner’s hand. The results showed that the hypothalamus, the brain area that deals with emotional pressure, was less active in holding their partner’s hand. This effect only seems to be the case if you have a strong and secure attachment with your partner. For example, other research has found that spending time with a partner from an unhappy relationship can lead to raised blood pressure and feelings of discomfort.

StoryShots Summary and Review of Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones by James Clear The episode begins with an introduction explaining that habits are formed through small, repetitive actions and systems rather than drastic changes or lofty goals. The host, James Clear, argues that the quality of one's life depends on the quality of one's habits, and that even small habits can accumulate into significant impacts over time. Clear explains why it can be difficult to build good habits, citing factors such as the human tendency to seek instant gratification, the power of conditioning from past habits, and the deceptively small scale of minor improvements that compound greatly over time. He stresses the importance of focusing on systems rather than specific goals. The episode delves into the mechanics of how habits form through cue-craving-response-reward loops, and provides strategies for making good habits more obvious and easier to reinforce, such as habit stacking. Clear emphasizes patience and trusting the process, as habits take time to solidify. Key Takeaways Focus on building small, sustainable habits through optimized systems rather than chasing ambitious goals. Understand that significant life changes result from the accumulation of minor, repeated habits over time. Be patient and trust the process, as the results of improved habits lag behind their implementation. Make use of strategies like habit stacking and obvious cues to reinforce positive habits. Recognize that overcoming existing bad habits requires as much diligence as cultivating new good ones. Don't discount the power of small, consistent steps compounded over time. Concentrate on improving your systems and processes rather than obsessing over specific goals. Appreciate that habits shape your identity just as much as achieving specific outcomes.
