Books by Grant and Christine Wattie

Why high achievers burn out, stay anxious, and lose themselves, and the counterintuitive path back to fully alive.

Burnout to Belonging is the book Christine and I wrote for the high achiever who looks fine on the outside and is running on empty underneath. It is about why the usual answers, more discipline, more rest, more pushing harder, do not work, and the counter-intuitive shift that does. Drawn from 20 years in the therapy room, for anyone ready to stop performing and come back to a life they can actually feel.

The 9 Principles for relationship transformation — the same approach that took us from the brink of disaster to the best years of our marriage. Practical, warm, and built on 20 years of working with couples across New Zealand and beyond.

Love Without Limits is the book Christine and I wrote together from everything we've learned — from our own marriage crisis, from the thousands of couples we've worked with, and from the very best research and training in the world. It's not theory. It's the exact same approach we use in our sessions, laid out in a way you can work through yourselves. Nine principles. Ninety days. A different relationship on the other side.

What does it mean to live and lead in a way that leaves something that truly matters? For anyone in the second half of life asking bigger questions.

Legacy is my book about the deeper questions — who you're being, not just what you're doing. It's for people in the second half of life who sense there's more available than what they've been living. More presence, more meaning, more genuine connection with the people who matter most.

Christine's upcoming book — a deeply personal account of resilience, healing, and what it means to rebuild from the inside out.

Christine has been writing toward this book for a long time. Buried Not Broken is about what happens when life breaks something open in you — and what it takes to rebuild from the inside out rather than just paper over the cracks. Personal, honest, and written for anyone who knows what it is to carry something heavy and is ready to set it down.
