Why Marriages Succeed or Fail: And How You Can Make Yours Last Dec 11, 2012

by John Mordechai Gottman

( 409 )

$15.99

Psychologist John Gottman has spent twenty years studying what makes a marriage last. Now you can use his tested methods to evaluate, strengthen, and maintain your own long-term relationship.

This breakthrough book guides you through a series of self-tests designed to help you determine what kind of marriage you have, where your strengths and weaknesses are, and what specific actions you can take to help your marriage.

You'll also learn that more sex doesn't necessarily improve a marriage, frequent arguing will not lead to divorce, financial problems do not always spell trouble in a relationship, wives who make sour facial expressions when their husbands talk are likely to be separated within four years and there is a reason husbands withdraw from arguments—and there's a way around it.

Dr. Gottman teaches you how to recognize attitudes that doom a marriage—contempt, criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling—and provides practical exercises, quizzes, tips, and techniques that will help you understand and make the most of your relationship. You can avoid patterns that lead to divorce, and—Why Marriages Succeed or Fail will show you how.

Det kvinner vil ha, det menn vil ha (Norwegian Edition) Feb 10, 2017

by John Gottman

$31.99

Dr. John M. Gottman er tilbake, og denne gangen har han svaret på historiens best bevarte hemmelighet: Hva er det kvinner egentlig vil ha? Det kvinner vil ha, det menn vil ha gir deg en unik innsikt i den revolusjonerende forskningen om hvordan man kan oppnå lykke hos både menn og kvinner, ved å se på mannen som den avgjørende faktoren. Forskningen avslører nemlig at det er mannen som avgjør om et forhold er velfungerende eller ikke. Boken er en hyllest til kvinnen og tilbyr mannen en komplett forståelse av kvinnens natur. Hvis mannen virkelig forstår sin kvinne og imøteser hennes behov, vil han oppleve færre krangler og mer (og bedre) sex. I tillegg viser studien at menn i sunne og lykkelige forhold lever lenger, tjener mer og har færre kroniske sykdommer og mindre kognitiv svikt når de blir eldre. DETTE ER EN FORSKNINGSBASERT FREMSTILLING AV HVORDAN EN MANN KAN TILTREKKE, TILFREDSSTILLE

Beziehung ist Männersache: Was Frauen von ihrem Partner wirklich wollen (German Edition) Nov 9, 2016

by John Gottman , Julie Schwartz Gottman , Douglas Carlton Abrams , Rachel Carlton Abrams , Katja Hald

( 17 )

$9.99

Was sich Frauen wirklich wünschen

Die meisten Partnerschaftsratgeber sind für Frauen geschrieben – für John Gottman ist das, als würde man eine Operation am offenen Herzen ausführen – nur leider am falschen Patienten. Denn wie er in seinem bekannten „Love Lab” herausgefunden hat, sind es eher die Männer, die Beziehungstipps benötigen: Was Männer sagen oder tun beziehungsweise was sie nicht sagen oder nicht tun, ist der entscheidende Faktor, ob eine Beziehung erfolgreich ist oder scheitert.

John Gottman und seine Frau Julie Schwartz Gottman haben in über 40 Jahren Tausende von Paaren und ihre Interaktion erforscht und dabei zwei der größten Beziehungsrätsel gelöst: was wir attraktiv finden und wie wir eine glückliche Ehe führen. Ihr neues Buch, das sie zusammen mit den erfolgreichen Autoren Doug Abrams und Rachel Carlton Abrams geschrieben haben, widmen sie nun ganz ihren männlichen Lesern. Dabei ist „Beziehung ist Männersache” kein Pick-up-Manual, sondern ein fundierter Ratgeber, der jedem Mann hilft, erfolgreicher mit Frauen umzugehen – sei es in einer bestehenden Beziehung oder bei der Suche nach der passenden Partnerin: Was finden die meisten Frauen bei Männern attraktiv? Wie kann Mann die Skills verbessern, die sie sich wünscht? Das und vieles mehr (wie besserer Sex und größere Zufriedenheit in der Partnerschaft) haben das Autorenteam in einem praktischen und dabei lockeren Buch zusammengefasst.
