    About this ebook

    New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations to create a fierce love that stands the test of time and grows stronger over the years.

    Often in our romantic relationships, we long for deep connection, but we don't know how to communicate well and sometimes withhold what we're really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or, worse, complacency--where you are just going through the motions, more like roommates than two people in love. As Susan writes, "It's as if we've pulled off our own wings." As couples, we don't stop to think how important our conversations are. And we certainly don't understand that what we talk about and how we talk about it determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail.

    In Fierce Love, New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment. Through the use of true stories and hands-on exercises, Susan helps us

    • understand that the conversation is the relationship;
    • identify and dispel five relationship myths that mislead and derail us;
    • learn eight conversations that are critical to enriching relationships; and
    • stop fighting or ignoring issues and start connecting in a deep and meaningful way.

    After a season where many relationships were tested and tried, where some relationships thrived and others have exposed cracks couples didn't even realize were there, or realized but didn't acknowledge, now is the best time to learn to communicate well. By having honest, compelling conversations with our partners, we can foster true connection and a fierce love that will withstand the test of time and grow stronger over the years.

      This was a great resource for couples. Whether your relationship is going well, or you’re starting to struggle, this book will help you communicate more effectively. After all, strong communication is a key part to a strong relationship. Quotes and stories are scattered throughout the book, along with eight important conversations. I highly recommend reading this with your partner, so that you can work through it together, and gain better understanding of each other. A great modern book for modern couples trying to navigate a very changed world.

      Sure, Susan Scott wrote a book for readers to read, but it does start an honest conversation (which is a critical point in this book, actually) between you (the reader) and the author. It feels less like Scott is telling us how to improve our love life and more like Scott is talking to us about what our love life could be with a little bit of tweaking and help.

      The advice and suggestions expressed in the book are supplemented with examples and supplemental short tales. I think one of my favorite parts of the book is early on, which essentially says that even though you leave pieces of yourself with each love and relationship that ends, you can still regroup and become a new, whole, healthy you to give your love and feel love in return. It’s a great line about abandoning the hopeless thought that life is beating you down and embracing the feeling that life has more to offer if we let it, and of course, allow ourselves to be honest to ourselves and our partners.

      It's a great book, definitely one to read even if you feel everything is going fine in your love life because it doesn’t just help you regain a strong love…it enables you to reinforce the love you have (even if you feel you have none).

      In Fierce Love by Susan Scott, she talks about different relationships in different ways we can focus our efforts on staying committed. She fill the book with stories not only people she knows what story she’s heard and those of other cultures and religions. I especially enjoyed the Chapter On divorce and how to stay together. They have a lot of dry boring advice books out there, but this isn’t one of them. I find Mrs. Scott had great insight I think this book would benefit both those Who are struggling in those already in a great relationship. Her message is love and I totally enjoyed it and highly recommend this book, especially to those wanting to stay together even if you just want a better friendship you can’t go wrong with this book. Please forgive any grammatical or punctuational errors as I am blind and dictate my review but all opinions are my own.

      ‘It’s all about our conversations’

      Washington author Susan Scott is the founder of Fierce, Inc – a global training company that helps major companies generate significant results by transforming the conversations central to their success. Her books to date – FIERCE CONVERSATIONS, FIERCE LEADERSHIP, and now FIERCE LOVE. In this book she directs her awarded energies away from corporations and directs her advice to incorporating her ideas in personal love relationships.

      One of the joys of reading Susan’s book of insights is her manner of communicating with the reader. ‘Love doesn’t make itself, you know. We make it. Or fail to make it… You can’t make yourself love someone, neither can you make someone love you. What you can do is behave and speak in a way that would entice love if it happened to be in the vicinity, so that love would want to hang out with you for a while. What you can do is be a loving and lovable human being.’ ‘Conversations are the fulcrum that enable s to accomplish our most important goals, especially regarding the quality of our relationships. How much love you have is up to you and while it may seem complicated, it isn’t. Not really. It’s all about our conversations.’

      In this book Susan offers advice on love relationships from inception to nurturing, such as ‘The five myths that mislead and derail us – You complete me, True love is unconditional, You must fulfill my list, If you loved me you’d know, and Love is all you need.’ She explores conversations we all have, but instead of simply listing the types of those verbal encounters, she analyses and explains how such communication functions in relation to enhancing relationships. Her style – stories, insights, and guidance delivered in a comfortable and accessible manner. Susan Scott becomes a fine coach for working on the way we relate to others through our conversations – the pathway to ‘fierce love.’ Recommended.

      In Fierce Love, New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment. Through the use of true stories and hands-on exercises Susan helps us to understand that the conversation is the relationship;

      learn eight conversations that are critical to enriching relationships; and
      stop fighting or ignoring issues and start connecting in a deep and meaningful way.

      After reading the book by Susan Scott I actually felt relived that I was not alone. The things I have experienced are quite normal in most relationships, and the best thing is that she helped me to understand what was happening, why it was happening and and how to try and fix it.

      So much of what is written made so much sense to me. Communication is the key! This is a book that I shall keep in my nightstand and refer back to on many occasion, no doubt. I have already recommended this book to friends and will continue to do so.

      Fierce Love: Creating a Love that Lasts-One Conversation at a Time by Susan Scott is a valuable resource for any couple who cares about their relationship. Read this book and look at your relationship in a completely different way. Embrace conversation and learn how to engage more effectively with your partner. The author writes in a compassionate way, encouraging you to explore the nuances of your relationship through more communication, that dreaded word. There are plenty of quotes throughout, much of them from prominent literature or movies that embrace and illustrate the author's point. This book's approach is wholly relatable and easy to implement if you simply use the strategies. An eye-opening read and highly recommended.

      If you are looking for ways to strengthen your relationships, Fierce Love: Creating a Love that Lasts---One Conversation at a Time has great ideas to utilize. Susan Scott is the founder of Fierce, Inc and has spent decades helping others. Out of several of her books, this one is geared more towards marriages and partners. Don't expect to fix a relationship without working on yourself. Wanting to experience a fierce love in the place of a placid love isn't about starting over with someone new but tearing off layers of you and revealing what is deep inside. I found this book filled with challenges and ideas that I have not explored yet. It is well documented and researched.
