The Fantasy Bond

Really mindblowing in parts; a refreshingly frank and honest book about the ways people protect themselves from negative emotions and general maladaptive behaviors, preventing emotional closeness and openness in their relationships. Has a lot of ideas and anecdotes that definitely date it, but looking past that reveals a core of truth that felt very helpful for explaining my own and others behaviors. Like all non fiction is a little bit too repetitive so I struggled towards the end.

EDIT:

Seems like this guy is maybe a cult leader so probably best to take this all with a grain of salt.
