Guest on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · 3 books · 1 episode across 1 podcast

John Gottman brings decades of psychological research on relationships, sex, and marital dynamics to his podcast appearances, notably on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett. In discussing human intimacy and partnership, Gottman recommended Emily Nagoski's Come as You Are, noting that the book reviews critical research demonstrating how women possess distinct prerequisites for eroticism compared to men. To illustrate the mechanics of handling arguments and fostering connection, Gottman highlighted Nancy Dreyfus's Talk to Me Like I'm Someone You Love, praising it as a brilliant guide for executing successful repair attempts during conflicts. Furthermore, he referenced The Normal Bar, authored by Chrisanna Northrup, Pepper Schwartz, and James Witte, to substantiate large-scale global data analyzing tens of thousands of couples across dozens of countries to discern what differentiates couples who report thriving sex lives. Through these citations, Gottman grounds his clinical expertise in comprehensive empirical research and practical relationship literature.
