202: Your Relationship Gym
There can be so much going on with running your life that sometimes relationships aren’t seen as something you strengthen—like your muscles. The “First Couple of Positive Psychology”—Suzie Pileggi Pawelski, Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP), and James Pawelski, PhD—explain key actions that you can take to become an Aristotelian lover and to have a “relationship gym” with your partner:
The Pawelskis and I specifically discuss the following:
Their book Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts
What an Aristotelian lover is
Why love is an action verb
What the science behind positive psychology entails
Christopher Peterson’s saying that “other people matter”
How you can have Aristotelian friendships
How the Pawelski’s research is based on empirical studies
George Vaillant’s research around longevity and relationships
Who could benefit from their book (Hint: Everyone from engaged to married couples and anyone who has any type of relationship with someone else)
How to express gratitude so that your words have more meaning behind them and how to receive a compliment
Serena Marie, RD, and I specifically discuss the following:
What’s going on in Brooklyn
Why she goes on pizza crawls
How to engage with a romantic partner through cooking
The importance of taking time to savor
