LATE SUMMER 2026
It’s hot in and out of the Padded Cell.
Principia Amoris: The New Science of Love — John M. Gottman
(RB Media / Highbridge Company)
Narrated by: Rick Adamson
Release: September 1, 2026
There are projects you narrate, and then there are the ones the universe seems to hand you on purpose.
I just wrapped Principia Amoris: The New Science of Love by Dr. John Gottman — and it does something I didn't think was possible. It takes love, the messiest and most human thing there is, and shows you the math running underneath it.
Drawing on decades of research from his famous "Love Lab," Dr. Gottman reveals that whether a relationship lasts can be predicted with remarkable accuracy. You'll meet the "Four Horsemen" that quietly end partnerships, the five couple types, and forty-five natural principles of love — science and heart, sitting side by side. This classic edition adds a new foreword from Dr. Paul Peluso.
Here's the part I can't get over: my son Michael is getting married any day now. For his birthday this week, I handed him another Gottman classic, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. Recording "love by the numbers" from the Padded Cell while my own boy steps into his marriage? I couldn't have scripted it better. (I might just read this one myself.)
Blessings and congratulations, Michael and Brittany. And my thanks to RB Media and Dr. Gottman for trusting me with this one.
I am forever grateful to my clients, agents, managers and publishers.
Immense gratitude to all the publishers, producers, reps, and clients: Audible, Tantor Audio, Harper Audio, Hachette Audio, RB Media, Recorded Books, Penguin Random House, MacMillan Audio, Simon & Schuster — and many more.
What can I say? Onwards we go.
