Change Your Life, Not Your Wife

Our book is now out and Dr. Weiss and I have been very encouraged by the positive response.  In the book, Dr. Weiss and I demystify why the same character traits that drive career success can also destroy families.  This book is not just for the achievement-oriented man or married couples, but covers the damage done to all relationships when success is the highest priority.  The good news is that relationships can get better when couples are willing to work through their issues and take personal responsibility for change.  In “Change Your Life, Not Your Wife,”  we present an archetypal fictional couple I work with in my practice and weave in their issues throughout the book while sharing ways in which they change.  More specifically, we reveal why emotional immaturity and self-absorption are common among the powerful, provide simple exercises to help you evaluate your own marriage, offer actionable advice for turning around marriages on the brink of self-destruction, and discuss why you must first change your own behavior if you want to impact your spouse’s behavior.  Many of people I describe in the book are intellectually overdeveloped and emotionally underdeveloped which accounts for their difficulties with emotional connection.  Too many marriages today get the scraps, whatever is left over at the end of the day, and there is typically not much.  The book (available on Amazon and my website) will challenge and encourage you to start on the road to improving your own personal relationships.  I welcome your comments or feedback about the book.
