Tonight: Author Peter Lovenheim discusses new book, "The Attachment Effect"

Award-winning journalist and author Peter Lovenheim will appear at a National Press Club Headliners book event to discuss his new work, "The Attachment Effect: Exploring the Powerful Ways Our Earliest Bond Shapes Our Relationships and Lives," at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 7.

Lovenheim, who spent years researching attachment theory, will help audience members understand their own attachment styles and how they affect the way they interact with the rest of the world.

Tickets are $5 for Club members and $10 for the general public. Tickets and copies of the book can be purchased online.

In psychology, the attachment theory is based on the premise that we are hardwired at birth to bond to a caregiver, parent or other relative for protection because we are born helpless. The success or failure of this bond or attachment can affect all of our relationships throughout life.

In his talk at the Club, Lovenheim will share observations from his interviews with major political figures, athletes, entrepreneurs, married couples and singles on blind dates.
