"John Gottman has done it again. He has shown why he is a leader in
the field of couples therapy. . . . [A]n amazing accumulation of
facts, studies, and concepts that are truly useful. . . . I found
myself wanting to read this book with a pen and pad in hand just so
I could take notes. . . . Not only do I recommend this book, I will
certainly encourage my students to read it because in the future
much of this material will become expected knowledge for marriage
counseling."

"John Gottman, the premier thinker and experimenter in the science
of couple relationships, has done it again. In his earlier concept
of bids, he brought clarity to the murky idea of connection. Now,
in the concept of attunement, he brings clarity to the even murkier
idea of trust."
*Dan Wile, author of After the Honeymoon*
