A book by Steven C Garrett
The Map of Attraction
Find Your Way to Lasting Love
A new way to understand how attraction unfolds—drawing on human geography, psychology, ancient spiritual texts, neuroscience, and lived experience.
The Map doesn't tell you whom to love. It helps you understand where you are, what you're experiencing, and what you may not yet know.
The book
Read the space between people.
Steven C Garrett introduces the Theory of Progressive Attraction—a framework for understanding what becomes knowable as two people move closer to one another.
Attraction can deepen, weaken, change direction, or disappear as physical attraction, character, chemistry, and intimacy reveal themselves. The Map offers language for noticing those movements with more clarity.
