The Science of Happily Ever After

What Really Matters in the Quest for Enduring Love

De: Ty Tashiro

Narrado por: Chris Chappell

In this playful and informative exploration of the science behind how to choose a great mate, acclaimed relationship psychologist Dr. Ty Tashiro explores how to find enduring love. Dr. Tashiro translates reams of scientific studies and research data into the first audiobook to revolutionize the way we search for love. His research pinpoints why our decision-making abilities seem to fail when it comes to choosing mates and how we can make smarter choices.

Dr. Tashiro has discovered that if you want a lifetime of happiness - not just togetherness - it all comes down to how you choose a partner in the first place. With wit and insight, he explains the science behind finding a soul mate and distills his research into actionable tips, including:

• Why you get only three wishes when choosing your ideal partner.
• Why most people squander their wishes and end up in unfulfilling relationships.
• How wishing for the three traits that really matter can help you find enduring love.

Illustrated using entertaining stories based on real-life situations and backed by scientific findings from fields such as demography, sociology, medical science and psychology, Dr. Tashiro provides an accessible framework to help singles find their happily-ever-afters.

Makes you consider....

That list....yea thats non existent after this book. My standards are now based around logic instead of looks, or being taller than me, or making a ton of money, or being so remarkably different than me that they add something special to my life that I cannot. God, none of that crap matters! That's how i feel about it 3 months after finishing it. It still makes sense.

Kind of dry, but a great listen. Lots of relate-able stories about others.

insights into serial relationship problems

Science based results cover the many issues in getting to Happly Ever After for once.

Gets you thinking

The negative sounding "settle" has such a different meaning now. Hearing the numbers on just how few people meet all of a person's ideal mate criteria was eye opening. I'm still sticking to the single life, but still very interesting listen.

Pratical but rigorous framework to pursue love

Great book that gives a gery pratical framework for bettee understanding yourself and what drives your behaviour and how to assess potential partners.
Started a bit slow and theoretical but is definitely worth it. Chapter 8 provided a framework that allowed me to instantly tly see myself and my wife's behaviour and understand the underlying dynamics of our behaviour, the way no counselling session ever has. This will truly make a difference in my life. I recommend to every single person and its still useful for people like me that are in a relationship to better understand ourselves and partners and to improve the relationship dynamics.

Evidence based advice

Evidence based approach and advice that aligns well with the common sense advice many have been offered from "successful" parents & grand parents who have lived the happily ever after life.

Loved this book

I loved this book—it was a wonderful read and taught me so much about what to look for in a relationship. I realized that I was doing a lot of things wrong in the ways of love, and now I will try the methods presented here and see what happens. This book is organized and full of sound data that makes Ty’s arguments credible. I wish there was a PDF to accompany the audiobook as with some others I’ve listened to, because the graphs and charts were difficult to follow at times. I also enjoyed the stories interspersed throughout, which made it lighter and more of a real-world experience.

review

I loved it the narrator was great it had several funny moments that I continue to laugh about lol the book really came together in the ending chapters ... it has opened my eyes and I know now what I need to do ... thank you!!

Very helpful

It really helped me to understand my past relationships and set goals for a new one.

Potent science based insights into relationships

Great stories, engagingly told, powerful message. The author of awkward does it again in Happily

Great information / tremendously helpful

This book helped straighten out a lot of dating/relationship confusion for me. Sometimes I need processes and data for my big decisions - this book provided both.
