This is the third book by Gottman that I have purchased so I was suspicious that it would be a lot of the same material re-worked. It was not! I really appreciate that, unlike most marriage books, the insight is useful for all relationships. I’m only 3 chapters in and it has already been helpful in identifying how I am making ‘bids’ and how to improve them as well​ as my response to my spouse and children.Amazon 5 star review wrote:This book should be required reading in HS. It can apply to every relationship -not just marriages. I’m even recognizing my dog’s emotional “bids” now. I’m so thankful to have read this while my daughter is still a toddler. It can apply to the workplace, parenting, friendships, marriage etc. Great info and a quick read. Read it in two nights.Amazon 5 star review wrote wrote:My therapist recommended this author, and I immediately gained benefit from this book. It is based on solid scientific research, and goes further than anything else I’ve found to explain human interactions. I saw how I interact with my friends who socialize together and those who learn and perform music together. It was a smack of reality in my relationship with my significant other. I can actually see the dynamics at work. Our relationship improved almost immediately in some major ways. If you want to improve your relationship with family, friends, bosses, etc., I highly recommend this book.May you find peace, TRUE LOVE and prosperity,Aeon
