911: Esther Perel | Cheating, Argument, and Conflict

Where should we begin examining our problems with relationships, cheating, conflict, and more? Legendary therapist Esther Perel talks us through it here!

What We Discuss with Esther Perel:

• People who cheat don't necessarily want to leave their partner • — they want to leave what they have become, or to get in touch with another part of themselves that they miss.

• Is monogamy a state that mating humans evolved toward naturally • , or is it more of a social construct imposed for the sake of control?

• Most of us don't argue because we love conflict, but because we're trying to galvanize some kind of change that requires another person's participation. • So how can we argue better • for the sake of both parties?

• What we can learn from conflict • — especially with respect to creating connection.

• As an expert in intimacy and human connection, where does Esther see us heading as a species when we can all have bespoke AI in our pocket • that just exists to make us happy?
