Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love
by Doug Abrams, John Gottman, Rachel Carlton Abrams, Julie Schwartz Gottman
This book is simple and good in the way that it’s to the point about how to solve issues, and a bit validating, but I do not know why these authors are so loved because oh my god they are so annoying and pompous. Shut up about your love lab dude! I absolutely not believe that he can predict a couples relationship working out or not. I also find the “inclusivity” pompous and bit performative, the line about there being no research on trans couples rubbed me the wrong way. Don’t yall have a love lab?? This book is very clinical and i definitely took some exercises away from it but they also seem a bit contrived. Last note, JUST SAY THEY instead of he or she, if you’re so “inclusive”. It’s less words!
