The State Of Affairs Rethinking Infidelity And Mating In Captivity 2 Books Collection Set By Esther Perel - A Book For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved. Description:- The State Of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity - a book for anyone who has ever loved Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal. But does it have to be? Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic; because they threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected - an expression of longing and loss. A must-read for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships. Mating in Captivity When you love someone, how does it feel? And when you desire someone, how is it different? In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in committed couples. Modern romance promises it all - a lifetime of togetherness, intimacy and erotic desire. In reality, it's hard to want what you already have. Our quest for secure love conflicts with our pursuit of passion. And often, the very thing that got us to into our relationships - lust - is the one thing that goes missing from them. Determined to reconcile the erotic and the domestic, Perel explains why democracy is a passion killer in the bedroom. Argues for playfulness, distance, and uncertainty. And shows what it takes to bring lust home. Smart, sexy and explosively original, Mating in Captivity is the monogamist's essential bedside read. Review: Perel is the best! - These two books offer some great advice for keeping our relationships vital and alive! Review: Mating in Captivity - I just finished reading the first book. I am going to have to read it again, and study it. There is so much in this book, but let me say this, I’ve learned more about myself and my relationship by reading this than I have in the last 10 years. There are no answers, no quick fixes, instead there are thought provoking ideas that start to make you analyze your own behavior and ask why you do what you do. I would highly recommend this book.

Mating in Captivity
I just finished reading the first book. I am going to have to read it again, and study it. There is so much in this book, but let me say this, I’ve learned more about myself and my relationship by reading this than I have in the last 10 years. There are no answers, no quick fixes, instead there are thought provoking ideas that start to make you analyze your own behavior and ask why you do what you do. I would highly recommend this book.

Your next best friend
Esther is just so insightful. I love her podcast and she writes how she speaks. She’s eloquent and methodical when she talks. She’s the best friend we all need! If you’re married, read these!

Couldn’t put down!
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?! Mating in captivity is an incredible book- I’m obsessed. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know. Perel should put me on the payroll at this point I’ve told strangers about it in airports and on planes when I’m holding it. If you are someone in a relationship/been in a relationship/going to be in one or knows someone who has been in one, it’s more than worth the read. If for no other reason, you learn so much about communication. It’s not just for lovers!

Very insightful books.
I have not read all of both books yet, but I have gained understanding through what I have read. I plan to finish them both very soon.

Hetero problems
This is a good book for straight people who are coping with infidelity. Not so good for people looking to explore open relationships.

Excellent
Esther Peter is brilliant. Both of these books are critically important. As a mental health therapist and a woman recovering from betrayal, The State of Affairs resonated so strongly with me. She sheds light on so many important aspects of infidelity and relationships.

Insightful
I'm obsessed with Esther Perel's ted talks and was looking forward to exploring her philosophy. These books are just amazing, her writing is powerful and effective. I can't recommend these books enough.
