Passionate - The Psychology of a Passionate Life
Passionate - The Psychology of a Passionate Life
Do you ever feel confused, depressed or anxious? Do you think that you are going through some sort of crisis? Do you seem at odds with your partner, friends or work colleagues? But you can’t understand why this is happening? If so, Passionate will shed some light, as its author has experienced all these things and more besides, and has survived to tell the tale.
To achieve this, he experienced various therapies which helped to improve his mental health. But above all else, it was his discovery of attachment theory that was responsible for clearing his confusion and helping him to understand why his life had been so intense, so chaotic, and so passionate.
Originally applied to the early parent-child bonding process, attachment theory can also help explain why we have become who we are as adults. The author has applied this aspect of attachment theory to himself – as he takes us on a roller-coaster tour of his life, with thoughtful self-analysis applied to every stage of the journey.
Passionate is not a quick fix for people unwilling to look within but it does show how positive mental health can be achieved through a better understanding of what exactly is going on in our lives and why. So, strap yourself in for a ride that might change your life!

Reviews of Passionate
Highly Recommended by Prof. Jeremy Holmes MD, University of Exeter - a leading authority on Attachment theory:
“James Adams’ touching, well-written, accessible book . . . . . . sets it head and shoulders above similar accounts [of psychological and spiritual trauma]. Strongly recommended to readers interested in religion, sex, marriage, divorce, football and the arts – i.e. almost everyone.”
"A Must Read. Couldn’t put this book down. A real insight into one man’s struggle to understand the effects of life’s events. I hope to read more of James Adams’ work in the future." - Jill, Waterstones Reader
"A Rollercoaster Searching for Understanding. Unlike most journeys looking to make sense of life Adams pauses after each period and sets out his analysis of what was happening. This is makes it much easier to follow. His courage in sharing so much about himself leads the reader to want to know what happened next.. His thorough explorations combined with an interesting writing style make this a good read." - Brian, Waterstones Reader
