Everyone should read through these even if they don't watch the video.

The slides cite various figures, such as " it takes 5 good interactions to make up for one bad one" and "assholes cause targets 80% lost time worrying". Does the video provide sources for these numbers that didn't make it into the slides?

My default assumption for figures of that sort is that the author made them up, based on a general impression and a desire to tell a good story with concrete details.

I thought I'd seen something from the sort from Gottman, but I haven't been able to track it down.
