Book Share: “Fight Right,” by Julie Schwartz Gottman & John Gottman, PART 1

This is a book share and summary of Julie Schwartz Gottman and John Gottman’s latest book, "Fight Right, How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection." In my opinion, this book can easily apply to ANY relationship in our lives: intimate, family, friends/peers, colleagues/work, even internally toward the self.
