Fantastic book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had read this book from the library first, so I knew it was a fantastic book. It really offers some true-to-life helpful ideas and strategies. I think John Gottman has gone beyond the obvious results of his years of research on couples, and applied it from many different ways and views of how couples can improve thier lives together. I bought it as a reference book, it’s that helpful. Thanks for sending it along quickly, and it’s in good shape too.

This is a book that everyone should read whether entering a new relationship or trying to get along in an older one. Great advice.
Three Relationship Keys
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Evaluate all of your relationships, self and others from these three simple perspectives: (1) Turning Against–those who criticize; (2) Turning Away–those who do not engage directly; (3) Turning Toward–those who truly respond to you with empathy. Then start pruning away the dead wood!
Found it difficult to read. Couldn’t get past first page
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
It doesn’t read like a novel for sure. As a buyer with an obvious need, I was looking an answer from the first page. guess i have to finish the book before my problems could be solved
The Key to Relationship Success
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I first learned of John Gottmah, PhD when I heard him speak in Seattle with H.H. the Dalai Lama earlier this year. The topic of the seminar was parenting, and I fell in love with his insights and simplistic approaches.
This is the first book of his I’ve read, and I loved it. I found it very profound, yet surprisingly simple.
Pros:
*I liked the explanation of ‘the bid.’ It’s a basic theory, but it seems to be forgotten after a while in a relationship.
*I liked the chapter on ‘emotional heritage.’ The self evaluations are extremely helpful in taking a look at your past and how your family dynamics can come into play in your adult years.
*I liked how the information in this book can be applied to any type of relationship: romantic, friendship, family / sibling, and co-workers.
Cons:
*Some of the information seems like it should be common sense, but it also seems necessary for the author to state it clearly in this book because it seems to get lost in so many relationships,
This book seems like an undertaking when you first flip through it, but I found that it read very fluently and fairly quickly.
I would recommend it to everyone, especially those wanting to strengthen the love in their life.
