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. Suzann is also a columnist at Psychology Today, Live Happy, and the Newsletter of the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA). She's been featured in publications like Time Magazine, INC Magazine, NPR, The Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Enquirer, and the London Times. 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. You have to build relational muscle.” – Suzann Pileggi Pawelski This week on In the Doctor's Chair: Suzann's inspiration for writing her book, Happy Together Why Suzann chose to focus on what can go right with relationships in her book The role of positive psychology in relationships Why it can be easier to notice the bad things in a relationship than the good What people get wrong about relationships What Suzann learned about communication through her relationship with her husband How traits you initially loved about your partner can become the source of conflict Why anger and sadness are just as important as happiness Why suppressing emotions can be counterproductive to being happily partnered How relationships are like your gym routine The skills and strategies couples can use to keep their relationship strong The importance of gratitude in relationships How couples can learn to listen to each other Why are people bad at receiving compliments Suzann's most powerful piece of advice for couples Why the concept of soulmates is dangerous Why it's difficult for people in relationships to stay together and remain happy How to redefine happiness Ten common positive emotions that aren't happiness How to feel more serene in your day-to-day life What Aristotle can teach us about making our partners happy Suzann's three takeaways for a resilient mind Resources Mentioned: The Happy Couple article by Suzann Pileggi Pawelski Free Character Test from Via Character Connect with Suzann Pileggi Pawelski: Suzann Pileggi Pawelski's Website Happy Together Website Book: Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts Suzann's column in Psychology Today Happy Together on Facebook Happy Together on Twitter In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

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. Pawelski, Ph.D RECOMMENDATIONS Check out the Pawelskis’ website Build Happy Together, and spend 15 minutes with your loved one taking the VIA Survey of Character Strengths. Connect with us!

This week on the pod we are joined by Hallerin Hilton Hill! Hallerin is a dad to two, a husband, a radio and TV host/producer, an author, a speaker, a trainer, a wisdom crusader, and a true Today’s Dad. We had a great time talking with Hallerin about his love of learning, the joy that comes out of being around people when they are enjoying their passion, power trips vs. power strips, his “rituals of reset”, drive, work ethic and so much more! Hallerin’s Today’s Dad definition was about being present, by living in the here and now and acting as a shape shifter so you can be what your children need in that moment. A big thanks to Hallerin for joining us on the podcast this week! Be sure to check out his Anything Is Possible series on YT!

In this episode of The Bottom Line Advocator Podcast, Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner is joined by Suzann (“Suzie”) Pileggi Pawelski, who specializes in the science of happiness and its effects on relationships and health to discuss why it’s so hard for people to accept compliments. Suzie, who has a Masters of Applied Positive Psychology degree from University of Pennsylvania, and is co-author of Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts, has found that people typically respond to positive feedback in one of three unhealthy ways—deflection (brushing it off)…reciprocation (repaying the compliment as quickly as possible)…and discounting (providing reasons why the compliment isn’t really deserved). By not accepting a compliment properly, people are missing out on a level of connection with others— as well as the emotional and physical health benefits that comes with being acknowledged. Listen in as Suzie and Sarah look at this curious aspect of human behavior, discuss how it impacts relationships and detail the ways in which we can receive gratitude and compliments in a positive and healthy way.
