“Working with Idea Architects was the most fun I have ever had writing anything. Doug looked at a manuscript I’d written and thought it had merit when no one else did. Then Doug and I decided to work on it together. As we got started both Doug’s wife and my wife started arguing with us and we had so much fun arguing that we decided to write the book as two couples. we met periodically at one another’s houses and worked on every chapter thoroughly. It was the most loving and creative experience I’d ever had with a team. Then Lara Love helped us write up our conversations and debates as chapters and we went to town editing it all. It came out as a book filled with wisdom, humor, creativity, insight, and totally true to scientific research findings from my lab. I love the book. I have never met anyone like Doug, so filled with energy and optimism. It’s just a delight to work with Idea Architects.”

“Working with Doug Abrams and Idea Architects has been a life-changing experience for me and my wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman.”
