Resmaa Menakem Monsters in Love: Why Your Partner Sometimes Drives You Crazy - and What You Can Do About It
Conflict is a natural part of any intimate relationship. Yet most couples either avoid it or try to smooth over their differences. This often results in at least one partner compromising their integrity-and stunting their own growth. Monsters in Love challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are-but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness.

Rachel Louise Snyder No Visible Bruises
What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us In No Visible Bruises, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. She frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths-that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; and most insidiously that violence inside the home is a private matter, sealed from the public sphere and disconnected from other forms of violence. Through the stories of victims, perpetrators, law enforcement, and reform movements from across the country, Snyder explores the real roots of private violence, its far-reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.

In Ready, he shares the deep wisdom we need to make these decisions—and feel confident in following through. The book looks at the mystery of timing, why we stay too long, why we leave too soon, and what it feels like when the timing is right. Richo shows that readiness is about more than just making a choice. Being ready means we understand ourselves deeply—we are prepared to take action (and staying is an action!), and we are equipped with what it takes to follow through. Filled with relatable stories and helpful practices, including meditation, self-inquiry, journaling, and affirmations, Ready helps us understand our own perfect timing to stay or to go.

Science of Trust
Emotional Attunement for Couples In this new work, Dr. Gottman presents his newest findings on trust, trustworthiness and betrayal in a breakthrough approach to understanding and helping couples. Based upon empirical data from five studies across the life course, Gottman reveals the dynamics in everyday couples’ interactions that either build or erode trust. And there are surprising results. For example, the relationship process that dissolves trust has nothing to do with the process that finally ends in betrayal - they are two separate processes. Most important, Gottman shows clinicians how to block the avalanche towards betrayal by teaching clients the fine art of emotional attunement, and if trust has already fallen prey to poor relationship skills or betrayal, how to reconstitute trust and renew commitment.
