"From the beginning [this] book was envisioned as a three-layer birthday cake: [the authors'] own stories and teachings about joy, the most recent findings in the science of deep happiness, and the daily practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu have been tested by great personal and national adversity, and here they share their personal stories of struggle and renewal"--Amazon.com.

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.
