“Don’t complain, ask. Behind every criticism, there’s often a wish.”
— Esther Perel
“Everyone says marriage should be 50/50. It’s the biggest crock of bullshit I’ve ever heard. It’s never 50/50. Ever. … A partnership works when you can carry their 20 or they can carry your 20. And that when you both just have 20, you have a plan where you don’t hurt each other.”
— Brené Brown
“Just naming the thing oftentimes gets rid of a lot of the anxiety. Just labeling it, just calling it out, and saying it out loud.”
— Brad Feld
“Before you start revealing, start listening.”
— Jim Dethmer
“We fight about how we fight. That’s the fight we usually have.”
— Sheila Heen
“What attachment science tells us is that emotional isolation is toxic for human beings. … In safe relationships, couples grow each other.”
— Dr. Sue Johnson
“The essential rhythm of all relationships is harmony, disharmony, and repair. Closeness, disruption, and a return to closeness.”
— Terry Real
“I believe that fear, when we’re present, is an intelligence that says, ‘Something needs to get learned.”
— Diana Chapman
Want to hear another episode with someone who thinks deeply about how we understand and relate to one another? Listen to my conversation with philosopher Alain de Botton, in which we discussed real-world versus academic philosophy, emotional intelligence, the underrated skill of listening, why “mean” is often simply “anxious,” status anxiety, practical pessimism, the value of rituals and tribes, “ordinary genius,” and much more.
