wonderful read

I appreciate the stories, transparency and insight of the others. Impactful and very helpful tools for all relationship stages.

Brillant Contribution to Realtionship Self-Help

Linda and Charlie share decades of wisdom gleaned from personal experiences as well as their work with hundreds of couples. What I love about this book is that it is not preachy; there are no “shoulds” or “could haves’. It is all about starting wherever we are at in our relationship and growing it from there. It is fiercely optimistic about our ability to improve our relationship, while being solidly realistic about the skills needed to connect authentically and maintain a relationship that works for both partners.

Myths throughly debunked. Great insight in understanding relationships.

The beauty of the Bloom’s book is that each of the myths has such a familiar ring and were debunked so thoroughly. Through case examples and social and psychological theories and findings, they have provided great insights that pave the way to authentic and meaningful relationship and do so in a very accessible and enjoyable read!

Never a Better Time for this Book!

Some myths were eye openers, and some are things I needed to be reminded about over and over. As usual, Linda and Charlie Bloom bring their practical experience and their incredible insights to this book. It's part of what makes them stand out among the many relationship coaches today. They didn't get any of this from a book, they've lived it. This is an easy listen, both because of the information and the way it's recorded. I highly recommend!

Excellent!

I absolutely recommend this book for anyone wanting to improve their relationships and their life!

Reads like an artful scientific study of relationships

I am not a reader of relationship focused non-fiction. The Bloom’s Happily Ever After book did not change my mind about the genre, but I am glad I read it as it is full of wisdom. I marveled at the depth of scrutiny at an almost molecular level each of the myths was written. The Personal examples and life stories of others brought each point home. I kept likening the detailed descriptions to viewing an element of a myth under a microscope, but artfully written. The narrator could not have been better, reading with perfect tone and pitch with empathy and emphasis. Kudos to Linda and Charlie Bloom. I will share and recommend this book for sure.

A Must Reac

Linda and Charlie Bloom have gone to lengths to help us navigate the challenging path towards fulfilling romantic relationships. They unselfishly share their personal stories and those of others to aid us in understanding the deeper truths around conscious cocreation of methods that lead to success in marriage and/or partnership. Easy to read, succinct and worthwhile!
