#880: Relationship Tools That Work — Esther Perel, Brené Brown, Dr. Sue Johnson, Terry Real, and More on Conflict, Repair, and Lasting Love

This compilation episode from The Tim Ferriss Show brings together relationship experts Esther Perel, Brené Brown, Brad Feld, Jim Dethmer, Sheila Heen, the late Dr. Sue Johnson, Terry Real, and Diana Chapman to explore practical tools for sustaining intimacy over time. Topics include turning chronic complaints into clear requests, creating a mutual 'plan of kindness,' holding monthly life dinners to prevent resentment, distinguishing observable facts from the stories we tell ourselves, using humor and curiosity to interrupt heated arguments, moving beneath anger to access fear and need for connection, embracing repair after rupture, and allowing an outdated version of a marriage to end so partners can consciously commit to what comes next.
