THE WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

Relationship teacher, coach, and founder of The Relationship School Jayson Gaddis reveals how to repair conflict in your most important relationships—and why learning to repair is the single most important skill for lasting connection.

Conflicts in our closest relationships are scary because so much is at stake. If we don''t know how to repair, we risk losing our marriage, our family, or our job—all connected to our security and survival. So we avoid conflict, betray ourselves, or become dishonest. Unresolved conflict affects every aspect of our lives, from self-confidence to physical and mental health.

Jayson Gaddis is a personal trainer for relationships and one of the world''s leading authorities on conflict-repair. For over two decades, Gaddis has helped individuals, couples, and teams repair their deepest conflicts. He teaches people how to stop running from hard conversations and start repairing them—getting to zero, which means you''ve successfully repaired the disconnection and have nothing in the way of a good connection.

In Getting to Zero, Gaddis shows you how to repair conflict with anyone—your partner, your kids, your coworkers, your parents. Through personal stories, real examples, and proven repair skills, he shows you how to move from disconnection to connection, acceptance, and understanding. This method replaces outdated conflict resolution approaches with a practical, street-level road map on exactly how to repair conflict with the people you care most about.

Repair is possible. This book shows you how.
