May was another busy month at The Gottman Institute. We were featured by Oprah.com, Dr. John Gottman spoke to a sold out crowd at Town Hall Seattle, and the revised edition of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work reached #2 Best Seller in Marriage on Amazon.com in its first week.
“Month in Review” is a feature on The Gottman Relationship Blog that gives you the opportunity to recap the news and events of the last month. Below you will find useful information and links from May, including mentions in the media, important announcements, blog postings, class photos, and more.
