"First of all, I have to say that I LOVE THIS BOOK. I think it should be required reading for everybody who runs a company. It is so humane and sensible. It is engaging, clearly written, and smart. Your story about your father really moved me. I imagine he'd be so proud to know that you've incorporated his style and philosophy into what you do on many, many levels. The rabbi and Talmudic scholar Hillel said of the Talmud that really, it was all the golden rule, and the rest was commentary. He said it much better than I did, but to my mind, your book is the golden rule in the business world (and how can anyone not want to live that way?)." -Victoria Wright of Book Mark Services.

As you may have noticed, marriage is in crisis! Experts tell us that 50% or more of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce. Living together prior to getting married increases the likelihood of getting divorced by 40 percent. Forty-three percent of American children are being raised without their fathers.
Out of this sad situation comes a question: Can marriage really be the time of your life?
Tom Klobucher’s answer is, “Absolutely!” But we need to think about marriage differently from the way most people do. Tom’s newest book comes to us after over half a century in an engaged, fulfilled and thriving marriage. Tom has something incredible to say, and it may not be like anything you have heard before.
What really matters, Tom says, isn’t what you expect to get out of the relationship, but what you expect to bring into it. The best marriage doesn’t start with you looking outward at your spouse. Instead, Tom invites you to look inward, at yourself.
You see, the best marriage is a transformational marriage, and it really is the time of your life!
What is a transformational marriage, and how can you have one? Please read on to discover Tom’s 24 steps to a happy, positive, and engaged marriage—and start having the time of your life!
The best marriage is not a transaction—it’s a transformation!

Tom Klobucher's book, Marriage-Never Give Up!, contains ten piercing stories of couples in real trouble who learned to view their marriages and their spouses in a new light, and it made all the difference in the world.
Could you imagine that happening to you?
Anyone who is married knows that marriage isn't easy, even when life is going smoothly. Throw in deeply painful realities like infidelity, alcohol abuse, financial insecurity, an overcommitment to work, or a gaming addiction, and the wheels can really start to fall off. These experiences often leave couples wondering what happened to the exquisite happiness they felt as they pledged their love to one another on their wedding day. Sometimes, they end up feeling like they must have deluded themselves, and divorce seems like the only option left.
That's a terrible place to be, and you don't have to stay there!

In this new book, he shows couples who are experiencing the deepest frustrations how to connect, heal, and forgive.

Tom Klobucher’s book, The Gentle Life, introduces us to 37 secrets to a happy life and invites us to receive the incredible rewards that come with being gentle, grateful, and polite.
This subject is more important now than ever before.
In too many of our families, the home is a place where genuine connection is rare—with parents and children alike spending their time together staring at separate screens rather than offering acceptance and encouragement to each other.
In too many of our workplaces, people are not experiencing the excitement of partnering with others to accomplish something great. Instead, gossip and one-upmanship have become the order of the day.
In too many of our cities, we are not caring for their neighbors, and our children are not safe. Instead, mistrust and strife abound, with divisions seeming to become more pronounced every day.
In our society at large, many have noticed a troubling and widespread loss of civility. Friendly disagreement and respectful dialogue have become relics of the past.
The sad truth is that despite all of the stunning advances in science and technology in recent decades, many people don’t know how to live happy lives.
But there’s good news: There’s a better way to live, and it’s available to each of us!
Tom’s book, The Gentle Life, is a road map that points the way to a priceless hidden treasure! The treasure never runs out, no matter how much time goes by or how many people take a generous share of it. It’s always there in abundance, waiting to be discovered, shared, and enjoyed.
The treasure is the potential that each person has to spread goodwill and share contentment with everyone they meet. Incredibly, there’s no limit to how many times you can brighten another person’s day or how much happiness you can share with them.
Here’s just a few of the critical and life-giving questions Tom addresses in this book:
- What does it mean to be grateful—and how can we become more grateful?
- When does it make sense to choose silence rather than strife in a conversation?
- What kinds of respectful connection should we seek out in the shared spaces in our neighborhoods?
- What does it mean to be faithful in a relationship—and how is it done?
- What does humility look like?
- How does forgiveness work?
- How can we invest in our communities?
- What does it mean to be tactful in one’s speech?
- How can we share what we’re learning with others?
Will you acquire the simple yet powerful tools of gentleness, politeness, and gratitude? Will you discover the treasure of the very best life of all—The Gentle Life—and will you share it with others?
Please join Tom on an exhilarating journey to discover the best life of all: The Gentle Life!

Join the Great Workplace Revolution....The Revolution where everybody wins!
Tom Klobucher’s newest book, Tales of Gratitude, is a collection of positive short stories with happy endings that will inspire thankfulness in the young—and the young at heart.
Tom’s stories are a touching and optimistic take on the American Dream. Each of his heroes confronts towering obstacles and overwhelming odds with little more than the support of their families, their sheer determination, and their ever-grateful spirits. There are life-and-death struggles splashed across these pages, and yet, the tales are warm, engaging, and thoughtful.
As with any good story, there are compelling characters here, and they face more than their share of twists and turns. An impressionable teenage boy surrounds himself with a rowdy bunch of misbehaving friends. A newly arrived immigrant, unable to find work, is down to his last few cents. A fatherless high school dropout is pressed into the labor market by the dire circumstances he and his mother face.
These tales are a compelling testimony to the value of hard work, but they are much more. The ups and downs ultimately follow the contours of the relationships that the central characters forge at the pivotal moments of their lives. As Tom has said elsewhere, relationships are transformational—and gratitude changes everything!
Join Tom on a journey across the continents and through the decades, discovering the treasure of a life well-lived. You’ll be grateful you did!
Transformational Relationships: How Positive Relationships Can Change Your Life
Transformation is the art of renewing your mind by discovering your own best self—and then helping others to renew their minds and discover their best selves. We cannot choose a transformational life. We can only live one! This is not an intellectual exercise. It’s a way of being.
Transformation is the key to personal growth and fulfillment. Intellectually, physically, and spiritually, transformation is how we advance, achieve, and inspire others. Transformation is how we improve and reach new, higher levels in life. Transformation is healthy and stimulates learning, growth, and development.
How do transformational learning experiences happen? Through our exchanges! The experts tell us that 60–82 percent of our learning comes to us through informal transformational relationships with other people. The question is—how can we make transformational exchanges happen more often? That’s the question that drives this life-changing book. Join Tom Klobucher on an exciting, personal, transformational exploration!
Tom starts by examining the foundations, identifying three powerful tools of transformation and five transformational values that everyone should embrace in order to usher in positive change in every aspect of life.
Next, he reflects on some of the most powerful transformational relationships that he has experienced during his own life, sharing stories that feature family members, teachers, and friends.
Finally, he offers guidance on how to inject transformational energy into a variety of crucial relationships, including those in your workplace, in your family, and in your community. He provides practical tips on how you can cultivate gratitude, become a positive lifetime learner, and share the benefits of transformational living with others.
The best life is not a transaction—it’s a transformation!
Transformational Relationships is designed for people of all generations. It tracks our positive transformational relationships from early childhood to our senior years—and prepares us for our very best life!
