Esther Perel shook up the world of love advice with her bestseller’ Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence’ which has since been translated into 25 languages. She’s been on Oprah’s Supersoul 100 and Forbes 50 over 50, and reaches millions through her TED talks and podcasts. As the child of Polish Holocaust survivors she credits their enthusiastic embrace of life after trauma for inspiring her study and work. Her approach to relationships comes from her parent’s life experiences and combines grounded realism with deep appreciation for the life-affirming power of passion and desire.
