Emmy-Winning Couple Sean and Michele Kanan Unveil New Book, Way of the COBRA Couples

Los Angeles, CA — Emmy-winning actor Sean Kanan, known for his roles in Netflix’s Cobra Kai and CBS’s The Bold & The Beautiful, has teamed up with his wife, Michele Kanan—an Emmy-winning producer, writer, and director—to release their latest collaboration: Way of the COBRA Couples. This highly anticipated book marks the third installment in Sean’s Way of the COBRA self-motivational series, introducing a new dynamic by including Michele’s perspective as his co-author and co-Sensei.

Unlike Sean’s previous solo works, Way of the COBRA Couples offers a dual perspective, delving into the secrets behind their thriving partnership. The book provides a practical and heartfelt guide to building strong, meaningful relationships, whether you’re married, dating, or still searching for “the one.”

“COBRA Couples isn’t just another relationship book—it’s your roadmap to how a notorious Hollywood bad boy and a carpool mom with four kids turned chaos into a Tinseltown power couple success story,” Michele explains. “We’re sharing the mindset, philosophy, and battle-tested strategies that helped us thrive, even in the toughest times.”

A Karate-Inspired Approach to Love

Using the metaphor of karate, the Kanans structure the book into chapters corresponding to different belt colors, each representing a progressive level of mastery in relationships. Readers are guided through stages of trust, communication, and personal growth, all while embracing a sense of humor—something the couple insists is essential for a thriving partnership.

“Love is not enough—it requires wisdom, strategy, and intentionality,” Sean emphasizes. “Becoming a COBRA Couple means growing and evolving together while maintaining your individual identity. Michele and I have been blessed with this incredible gift, and we want everyone to experience it.”

Among the book’s key strategies are:

Trust in each other

Trusting Your Partner as Magnetic North: Learning to navigate challenges together by anchoring your relationship in trust.

Mastering the Day Meter: A tool for managing expectations and balancing daily responsibilities.

Creating a Relationship Rule Book: A personalized guide for navigating disagreements and setting boundaries.

Embrace your wild journey

The Kanans also highlight the importance of embracing your “wild origin story,” using shared experiences—both the highs and the lows—to forge deeper, more meaningful connections.

Personal Stories and Practical Tools

While Sean and Michele readily admit they are not licensed therapists, their book stands out for its relatable and humorous approach. Through candid personal stories, they reveal the ups and downs of their marriage, offering readers a genuine look into how they’ve turned challenges into triumphs.

“We lead by example,” Michele shares. “We want people to see that even with the craziness of our lives, a strong partnership is possible. You just have to put in the work and laugh along the way. If you’re not laughing while building your life together, you’re doing it wrong. Blame does not exist in this dojo!”

Sean adds, “The right partner can make you, and the wrong one can break you. But finding the right person is only the beginning. What comes next is the real adventure—learning to evolve together while staying true to yourself.”

More Than Just a Relationship Guide

Part self-help, part memoir, Way of the COBRA Couples blends common-sense psychology with practical advice, offering readers tools to become their best selves within a thriving relationship. Whether you’re newly in love, a seasoned couple, or still searching for a partner, the Kanans’ insights aim to inspire and empower.

At its core, Way of the COBRA Couples is an invitation to join Sean and Michele in their “dojo of love,” where humor, honesty, and hard work are the foundations for lasting connection. Readers are encouraged to take an active role in their relationships, using the book’s wisdom and strategies to build a partnership that grows stronger over time.
