Read by Quagmire from Family Guy...

What made the experience of listening to What Makes Love Last? the most enjoyable?

Gottman is a seasoned expert on the subject of successful relationships.

What was one of the most memorable moments of What Makes Love Last??

The samples of dialogue between the therapist and various couples helped illustrate principles to me.

Did Peter Berkrot do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

No :( His tone and inflection were the same for all samples of dialogue - but that's not really a big deal to me. What continually took me out of the book was how much he sounds like Quagmire from Family Guy.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Want to know if you're going to get divorced? The answers are inside...

Extremely Helpful

This was an eye opener for me about what a truly loving, trusting and healthy intimate relationship looks like. I actually had no idea bc I come from a very dysfunctional mother and a father who left and was also dysfunctional. It’s weird but hearing about what the inside of an emotionally secure relationship looks like completely woke me up in a way that spirituality never has. Also, it’s made me realize how many people in the media, Hollywood, movies and news are behaving toxic and are actually really poor role models. That’s sort of sad but I realize now the really happy couples are existing everywhere not trying to make a lot of noise or conflict bc they are more peaceful and satisfied and trust worthy. And I aim to join them soon in their happy, glowing satisfaction

good read.

I listened to this book in its entirety over about 3 days. It offers many real methods to avoid and repair mistakes made in relationships. Trust is key. However, while 1 partner can read this book and it can be great for self help, ultimately both partners need to acknowledge and support the ideas or the person trying will get worn out and the person not trying will continue to believe the other person is not trying hard enough. This book works best when both parties are committed to making it work.

The reader was so awful I could not listen.

Would you try another book from John M. Gottman and Nan Silver and/or Peter Berkrot?

I was unable to really listen to this book because the reader was so terrible. Sounds like a robot. It was TORTURE to listen to.

What could John M. Gottman and Nan Silver have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It could have sounded less like she was reading from a text book and more like a story.

How could the performance have been better?

The reader could have sounded less like a robot.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Quagmire ruins the whole thing

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Nope. I couldn't finish it, because of the narrator's voice.

Has What Makes Love Last? turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Berkrot?

Anyone not sounding like a cartoon character from Family Guy.

Did What Makes Love Last? inspire you to do anything?

Nothing I didn't get from an overview of the man's work elsewhere.

Very practical

Really interesting. I appreciate his research based approach. I particularly enjoyed learning more relationship recovery techniques. I also saw areas where I need to be more careful with my relationships. This was a very readable book. Of this genre, he lacks the underlying grand theory that you find in Harville Hendrix and others, but this is a much more practical approach.
