"This book is very easy to read and engaging. Anytime a therapist mentions this book I get so excited because it honestly yes does call you/other people out in relationships LOL but also creates such a wonderful way to work together with your partner to overcome hurdles. Like this book if you do the work in it which is very easy because Gottman is just that great of a psychologists/writer, you are on your way to creating a wonderful relationship. It is not one of those books where you just read it, changes your life, but then really does nothing. This book actually makes deep long term changes! Gottman is a genius!"
