The idea
Self-Determination Theory's second need, relatedness, is feeling connected to, cared for by and significant to others, knowing your absence would leave a gap.
In practice
The book's image: autonomy says our lives are self-authored; relatedness says we are not alone in the authoring.
Where people slip
The book argues identity is built through connection; a self without it is less stable and less able to grow.
