FIGHT RIGHT: My wife, Rachel, and I have had the incredible privilege of working with John and Julie on several books—and benefiting from their marriage-saving advice personally. Their newest book is one of their most important yet. Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection reveals the five secrets they discovered in their world-famous Love Lab that separate the Masters of Love from the Disasters. John and Julie became famous for being able to tell with 90% accuracy after a fifteen-minute conflict conversation whether a couple would be divorced six years later—in short, the first fifteen minutes of a conflict not only predict the future of the argument-but also the future of the relationship. They reveal so many fascinating insights including the fact that 69% of conflicts never go away–they call these lingering clashes, “Perpetual Problems.” And John and Julie help couples learn their conflict style (gulp, discovered I was a Volatile!), revealing how all styles can succeed by learning these five important lessons.

THE LIFE BRIEF: We had the profound privilege of agenting the bestselling and defining career book of this decade, Designing Your Life, so when Bonnie Wan came to us with her laser-sharp method for getting crystal clear on your life and your passion, we knew it would be an enormously valuable support for readers navigating life’s decisions, crossroads, and curveballs. I have been a journaler since I was in college—and read through them all when I was on sabbatical, which was fascinating. I can’t wait to revisit these musings using Bonnie’s techniques for making meaning out of the mess. Bonnie’s book asks the right questions that will lead us to our heart’s true answers.
