Ten lessons to transform your marriage : America's love lab experts share their strategies for strengthening your relationship / by Gottman, John Mordechai.(CARDINAL)515770; DeClaire, Joan.(CARDINAL)349365; Gottman, Julie Schwartz.(CARDINAL)468456;

"All you ever do is work!" -- "Will we ever get over your affair?" -- "After all the crises in our lives, we don't feel close anymore" -- "You never talk to me" -- "You don't care about my dreams" -- "You're so distant and irritable all the time" -- "I shouldn't have to nag!" -- "There's no passion, there's no fun" -- "We only have time for the kids now" -- "You're not satisfied unless there's some drama".In 1994, Dr. Gottman and his colleagues at the University of Washington announced that, through scientific observation and mathematical analysis, they could predict--with more than 90 percent accuracy--whether a marriage would succeed or fail. But they did not yet know how to turn a failing marriage into a successful one, so Gottman teamed up with his clinical psychologist wife to develop intervention methods. Here they share this information so that couples can develop the skills to create strong, lasting unions. What emerged from decades of research is a body of advice based on two simple truths: Happily married couples behave like good friends, and they handle their conflicts in gentle, positive ways. The authors offer an intimate look at ten couples who have learned to work through potentially destructive problems, and examine what they've done to get their marriages back on track.--From publisher description.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-274) and index.Because good intentions aren't enough -- Because it's a solvable problem -- Speaking out: make learning real world and project-based -- The fallacy of sink or swim: self-direction -- Max's mentor: reflection -- Leave no Husky behind: collaboration -- The building-blocks: successful habits -- The tutoring bar: curiosity-driven knowledge -- The innovation summit: universal skills -- Life after graduation."Diane Tavenner, founder of Summit Public Schools, offers a blueprint for a better way to educate our children, based on the revolutionary lessons, insights, and methodology she and her faculty developed over 15 years at their famously successful charter schools in California and Washington, which she is now introducing to public school systems across the country that Summit is partnering with to transform education and better prepare our children to lead fulfilled and successful lives. Diane Tavenner founded the first Summit charter school in 2003, developing and perfecting a personalized, project-based curriculum that puts students in charge of their own learning. The school developed a learning plan for every student. They engaged the students by appealing to them with interdisciplinary, real-world projects, rather than passively learning and memorizing in a classroom environment. They created mentorship groups, where students would talk through their goals and help each other solve problems, as well as meet one-on-one with their mentor, weekly. By internalizing a sense of purpose, self-direction, self-sufficiency, and collaboration, students learn the cognitive and life skills needed to navigate the next phases of their lives. Virtually 100% of Summit's original 400 students went on to attend four year colleges"--
