Suzann Pileggi Pawelski, MAPP, is a writer, well-being consultant, and international speaker who studies and writes about the science of happiness and how it affects relationships and health. She wrote the book Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts with her husband, James, which was named the best book of the year by Business Insider, Success Magazine, and the Greater Good Science Center.

Before becoming a relationship expert, Suzann was the VP of the public relations firm Weber Shandwick Worldwide and headed award-winning PR campaigns. Suzann currently lives in Philadelphia with her husband and her son, Liam. Today, Suzann shares the inspiration that led to her book, Happy Together, and how fairy tales have warped our expectations of relationships. She discusses her unique approach to strengthening relationships and how couples benefit from focusing more on positive emotions than negative ones. She describes how she approaches challenges in her own relationship, how she communicates with her husband, and the things she found adorable at the beginning of their relationship that is now a source of conflict. She also offers advice on why happiness is not the most important goal and how to recognize the other positive emotions we experience daily to redefine happiness.   “You don't just meet a person, get in a relationship, get married, and that's it.

We speak with Suzanne Phileggi Pawelski James Pawelski, the husband-and-wife authors of "Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts."

SUMMARY To be happy together, whether you’re starting a new relationship, weathering difficult times, or jump-starting a long-term marriage, Suzie and James Pawelski can help. Their book, Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love That Lasts, isn’t the typical approach to romance. But this husband-and-wife research team has found how to ignite (or reignite) passion. KEY POINTS Together, the Pawelskis identify four key areas crucial to building and sustaining love over the long run: Harmonious passion: remembering who we are as individuals and seeking out new adventures together that both enjoy Positive emotions: feelings of joy, gratitude, and hope to help motivate couples to invest in each other’s well-being and engage in mutual care Mindful savoring: the importance of actively and consciously valuing another and expressing this appreciation to nurture and enhance the relationship Character strengths: why we need to define, find, and cultivate our individual potential and support our partner’s growth simultaneously Happy Together is the first book to apply principles of positive psychology to create successful, satisfying bonds that last. It’s a roadmap for rewarding, long-lasting romance. Refreshingly upbeat, the Pawelskis encourage couples to focus on their strengths. In other words, rather than prescribe cures for failing relationships, they suggest exercises as simple as talking about each other’s strengths to build positive emotions. From there, couples can further leverage strengths by planning dates that bring out the best in both partners. Another healthy exercise to lengthen and strengthen sweet moments of emotional closeness is slowing down to share your love story—the highs and the lows. Recounting how you’ve both conquered challenges and relished the good times can greatly increase your enjoyment of those experiences. Of course, falling in love and even being in love doesn’t mean you will magically have your dream relationship. Rather, relationships improve over time when partners practice key skills and cultivate loving habits. The Pawelskis encourage us to practice these skills in our own “relationship gym” because all relationships need work. BUY Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love That Lasts by Suzann Pileggi Pawelski, MAPP and James O.

This week’s episode of Looking Up features relationship experts James and Suzy Pawelski. Together, they co-authored the book, “Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love That Lasts.” Suzie achieved an Applied Positive Psychology Master’s degree from UPenn and Dr. James Pawelski is a professor and Director of Education in the Positive Psychology Center at UPenn, where he co-founded the Master of Applied Positive Psychology Program with Martin Seligman in 2005. This episode talks all about the science of passion, pleasure, intimacy and sex, the importance of respect, trust and communication, falling in and out of love (along with the discussion of divorce rates), what exactly a soulmate is and what it’s not, why the phrase “you complete me” is probably not the most effective thing to say to a significant other, and the real practical tools that can be used to build a longer and happier relationship. Produced by Dear Media

Suzann (“Suzie”) Pileggi Pawelski C’91 LBS’08 is a well-being writer, consultant, and international speaker specializing in the science of happiness and its effects on relationships and health. Her 2010 Scientific American Mind cover story, "The Happy Couple," was the catalyst for Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love That Lasts, the best-selling book that she wrote with her husband James. Together, Suzie and James give Romance and Research™ workshops around the world. Happy Together was named a best book of 2018 by Business Insider, Success magazine, and The Greater Good Science Center. Suzie pens a popular blog for Psychology Today and is a contributing editor for Live Happy. As a columnist for the Newsletter of the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA), she profiled many of the field’s leading scientists and featured their groundbreaking research.

Many of you know that more than a decade ago after I’d been writing books for several years and coaching, I went back to graduate school a second time to study Applied Positive Psychology. I met one of our 1st two guests during the admissions process when he conducted my phone interview. His recommendation led me to be accepted to the University of Pennsylvania, and he became one of my professors. During that year, I spent more than 250 hours of class time soaking up knowledge alongside 40 classmates. And one of them, whom I sat next to for many of those hours, is our other guest. I met James and Suzie that year, but more importantly, that's when the two of them met each other. After Suzie graduated, she and James connected personally, and today they are happily married. They recently co-authored the book, Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts.

Many of us spend hours in the gym, or reading books on personal growth, or at mindfulness retreats working on getting stronger and healthier physically and emotionally. Then, when it comes to working on our relationships, we HOPE that our feelings about our romantic partner will magically freeze in that exciting cocoon of the first year we’re together. Suzann Pileggi, co-author of "Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts," shares what it takes to really grow and deepen love. She provides insights on the all-important connection between our overall happiness and our most important relationships. Check out Suzann's website at www.buildhappytogether.com.

A year ago or so Sam listened to this book Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts when she was on a road trip. She liked it but felt like many of the concepts didn't sink in as much as she would have liked. She recently reread it while doing some more research for the second edition of our book Bigger Love which we're also going to release under a new name - to be announced. Part of why she read it was because it was also written by a happily married couple like their own book. Unlike Paddy and Sam, they are both scholars who work in the field of Positive Psychology - so this is not only their experience but also some of the science around love and happiness.
