Busy Love

27 Relationship Tools for a World That Won’t Slow Down

Life is busy. By the time you’re done with work, packing the kids’ lunches, responding to the group chat, cleaning the kitchen, and scrolling for longer than you meant to, there’s no time left for love. You stop checking in with your partner, date nights fall off the calendar, and everything else somehow takes priority over your relationship.

In Busy Love, authors and relationship coaches Kaley and Nate Klemp offer a new solution to the relationship challenge of our time: staying connected in a time of constant busyness. Busy Love offers a seven-step guide for shifting from Love by Accident, where you allow random chance and the mess of everyday life to shape your relationship, to Love by Design, where you get to create the life and relationship you most want.

Open

Living with an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World

With the avalanche of information we get every day, closing down our minds and hearts seems to be the only way to survive. We close to ourselves by compulsively checking our devices. We close to each other by getting caught in echo chambers of outrage. But what if there’s another way? In this climate of distraction and division, Open offers a path back to a way of living that is expansive, creative, and filled with wonder.

Drawing on personal stories, scientific findings, and traditional wisdom, I explore why we close down when faced with stressors or threats, then reveal why training ourselves to fully engage even with discomfort, pain, and sadness leads to greater wellbeing in the long run.

The 80/80 Marriage

A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship

The 80/80 Marriage pushes couples beyond the limited idea of “fairness” toward a new model grounded on radical generosity and shared success, one that calls for each partner to contribute 80 percent to build the strongest possible relationship.

Drawing from more than one hundred interviews with couples from all walks of life, stories from business and pop culture, scientific studies, and ancient philosophical insights, Kaley and I pinpoint exactly what’s not working in modern marriage, and offer practical, powerful solutions that open up space for greater love and connection.

The Morality of Spin

Virtue and Vice in Political Rhetoric and the Christian Right

The Morality of Spin explores the ethics of political rhetoric crafted to persuade, and possibly manipulate, potential voters.

Based on extensive insider interviews with leaders of Focus on the Family, one of the most powerful Christian right organizations in America, I ask whether the tactic of tailoring a message to a particular audience is politically legitimate or amounts to democratic malpractice.
