I've read a lot of nonfiction about how to foster healthy romantic relationships.
This one feels different in that it actually acknowledges the work others have done: Drs. John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Brene Brown, Esther Perel, and many more. Dr. Nasserzadeh builds on those ideas while adding several of her own. She successfully synthesizes all sorts of research and theories about romantic relationships into one holistic book, which is impressive.
I outright learned some things despite my prior familiarity with the topic, and learned how to see a few concepts differently (the chapter on respect was eye-opening).
Honestly, I regret reading this as an audiobook, since I couldn't highlight various passages, or simply pause and reread a sentence over and over. There's so much in here that I know will need to sink in slowly over time.
That's why I'll be buying a print copy as well!
