Esther Perel

Esther has some unique views. I like hearing them!

At the heart of sustaining desire in a committed relationship is the reconciliation of two fundamental human needs. On the one hand, our need for security, for predictability, for safety, for dependability, for reliability, for permanence. On the other hand, for adventure, for novelty, for mystery, for risk, for danger, for the unknown, for the unexpected.

Rather than viewing this tension between the erotic and the domestic as a problem to solve, I suggest you view it as a paradox to manage.

Revisit my talk at the TED salon for more on sustaining desire. ⬇️

Not sure who and how to be vulnerable? Want to flex your EQ muscles?

EQ and vulnerability are not opposites but actually two of the same. As your EQ strengthens and you are comfortable with who you are and intrinsically motivated not driven to impress or please others you can and will be authentically yourself. That is step one of vulnerability- then facing your emotions, having the courage to spend time with the tough ones and unpack them, knowing how you tick and what your fears are. Then you can truly share yourself. Not indiscriminately with anyone, but with wisdom. You are also then in a place to receive and hold others vulnerability. This is all courage and strength at its finest core, not weakness. It is leaning in to who you are, warts and all and letting others see you - and seeing others the same way. It is powerful and real. The tough nothing bad happening here fake stuff is empty calories.

"Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage." — Brené Brown

You gotta heal you. That’s your life’s work -- not theirs.
Let them go and get to work.

Now, YOU.
