About this listen

In this pertinent audiobook, hard-hitting divorce lawyer James Sexton shares his insights and wisdom from the frontlines of divorce to keep you out of his office and improve on your relationship

If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late. James Sexton knows this. After dealing with over 1000 clients whose marriages have dissolved over everything from an ill-advised threesome with the nanny to the uneven division of carpool duties, he also knows all of the what-not-to-dos for couples who want to build - and consistently work to preserve - a lasting, fulfilling relationship.

Described by former clients as a "courtroom gunslinger" and "the sociopath you want on your side", Sexton tells the unvarnished truth about relationships, diving straight into the most common marital problems. These usually derive from dishonest - or nonexistent - communication. Even when the alleged reason for separation is one spouse's new "personal trainer", there's usually a communication problem that predates the fitness kick. Symptom and root cause get confused all the time.

Sexton has spent his career working with spouses-to-be-no-longer. Reverse-engineering a relationship can help to identify and fix what does not work. Ever feel like you're holding back criticism of your spouse because you just can't have that fight right now? Sexton will tell you to "Hit Send Now". Maybe you aren't as adventurous as you used to be, or need some you-time, but for some reason, it seems weird or exhausting to change up the routine now.

Sexton knows where that mentality leads and offers viable alternative paths to take. Though he deals constantly with the heartbreak of others, he still believes in romance and the transformative power of love. This audiobook is his opportunity to use what he has learned to help couples that aren't so far gone get back on track.

Everything he said is about real stories and very applicable to everyday situations. Despite being a “how no to” there are many ideas on how to get it right.

Interesting perspective ...starting from the end

Overall I liked this book a lot... It was well thought out and structured in a clever manner... the author clearly has a lot of experience with the subject matter and had some great advice to give out based on that experience as well as his own personal experience... I liked his candid manner as well... if I was married and looking to get divorced I think I would pick this guy as my lawyer as I like his manner and approach and I think that I would end up liking him... having said all of that there are times when his ego becomes quite apparent and I found that a little off-putting... despite his references to Buddhism he displays a little bit of arrogance from time to time... at the end of the day he is a lawyer... and a divorce lawyer at that... hence he's going to be full of contradictions and not the most trustworthy person out there... still all in all I highly recommend this book as it's both informative and entertaining...

Very enjoyable
