Andrew Huberman featured the book extensively on the Huberman Lab and during an appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast in 2022, emphasizing how authors Levine and Heller successfully translated developmental psychology and Ainsworth's findings into actionable tools for healthier adult relationships.
