The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity <p>Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of <i>Mating in Captivity</i> Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions. </p> <p>An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. </p> <p>So what are we to make of this time-honored taboo, universally forbidden yet universally practiced? For the past 10 years, master therapist Esther Perel has traveled the globe and worked with hundreds of couples who have been shattered by infidelity. In<i> The State of Affairs</i> she asks, why do we cheat? And why do happy people cheat? Why does infidelity hurt so much? And when we say <i>infidelity</i>, what exactly do we mean? Is an affair always the end of a marriage? </p> <p>Affairs, she writes, have a lot to teach us about relationships. They provide unusual insight into our personal and cultural attitudes about love, lust, and commitment. Betrayal hurts, but it can be healed. An affair can even be the doorway to a new marriage - with the same person. With the right approach, Perel argues, couples can grow and learn from these tumultuous experiences, together or apart. </p> <p>Fiercely intelligent, <i>The State of Affairs</i> provides a daring framework for understanding the intricacies of love and desire. As Perel writes, "Love is messy; infidelity more so. But it is also a window, like no other, into the crevices of the human heart." </p> <p>After listening to Esther read <i>The State of Affairs</i>, continue on as she opens the door to her office and invites you to listen in on actual couple sessions. These are unscripted conversations of real, anonymous couples grappling with infidelity from her Audible Original podcast <i>Where Should We Begin Begin?</i> (courtesy of Audible Originals, LLC).

State of Affairs: A Guide to Understanding the Philosophy, Psychology, Economics, and Geopolitics of the World From Philosophy and Psychology to Economic Development and Geopolitics, State of Affairs looks at the past and present to understand each individual's role in shaping the world through pragmatism and compassion. It is human nature to search for truth in whatever that may be of a subject, but our search is often muddled. Not only by the diversity and complexity of views the world has produced in good faith, but also because some so often value a position, identity, or agenda more than truth. Even with good intentions, this great diversity of thoughts and ways can lead to conflict. Not only of nations, peoples, and states, but within ourselves. State of Affairs is a book that looks at the way the world is, the way in which people see the world and why, and with its myriad of views, how can we shape them to work together and to find peace for our own selves as well.

He recounts the stories of eight relationships. . . . Each story puts intimacy and how we experience it on display.” <b>—Concepción De León, <i>The</i> <i>New York Times</i></b><br /><br />“<i>Together, Closer</i> examines the way humans relate to each other across a spectrum of relationships from parent-child to platonic friendships and, of course, romantic love.” —<i>The Guardian</i><br />  <br /> “An ambitious project . . . Giovanni Frazzetto marries science with art, the most recent discoveries of neuroscience with human stories about intimacy. . . . A clear love of art and science shines from the book.” —<i>The Irish Times</i><br /><br />For readers of Oliver Sacks and Stephen Grosz, a wondrous, deeply felt book that explores intimacy through the stories of eight relationships, from the author of <i>Joy, Guilt, Anger, Love</i></b> <br />  <br />The bonds we are capable of feeling toward other people—how we know and belong to one another—provide fascinating glimpses into the intricacies of human behavior. Intimacy is that moment when our true identity is revealed to another, when traumas, fears, and ambitions are shared. Through the ordinary stories of eight relationships, Giovanni Frazzetto has woven an extraordinary narrative of togetherness. He shares the details of romantic partners trapped in a long cycle of attraction and rejection, a single woman who finds herself deep in a fictional relationship with a boyfriend she has invented out of frustration with her love life, and a couple absorbed in a years-long clandestine affair. But intimacy can also extend beyond romantic encounters: coping with the loss of a loved one, dealing with overbearing or emotionally distant parents, or celebrating the joys and comforts of our dearest friends. <br />  <br />In <i>Together, Closer,</i> Frazzetto unravels the components of intimacy in all of these relationships, illuminating the mysteries, challenges, and pleasures of intimacy through a brilliant mix of storytelling and science. The Secrets of Enduring Love: How to make relationships last <p><i>The Secrets of Enduring Love</i> focuses on what couples actually <i>do</i> to maintain, nurture and nourish their relationships. The reader will be taken on a journey through different ways of doing relationships, focusing on the key themes which came out of the research: everyday acts of kindness and appreciation; the importance of home; communication and conflict management; sex and intimacy; incorporating others into the relationship (children, pets, friends, hobbies); and telling your own love story. <br /><br />One of the key messages from the research is that different things work for different people, and at different times in the relationship. For this reason the book focuses on the differnt practices that we might bring into our own relationships, helping us to recognise the small things which we may be already doing but which ordinarily go by unnoticed, and offering a helping hand to find out what works best for us.</p> Pilot A Family Systems Guide to Infidelity: Helping Couples Understand, Recover From, and Avoid Future Affairs (Family Systems Counseling: Innovations Then and Now) <p><em>A Family Systems Guide to Infidelity</em> offers an explanatory model and concrete techniques, enabling therapists and counselors to treat the core of a couple’s relationship problems instead of merely applying a therapeutic bandage. Chapters give therapists proven techniques to help couples redevelop trust, rebalance power, increase satisfaction, and recover from the wounds that infidelity causes. This text uses case studies from clinical practice, examples of public or historical figures, and scenarios from popular movies to illustrate concepts, and it provides a systemic explanatory model for understanding infidelity, one that focuses on marital dissatisfaction, power imbalances, unfulfilled dreams, and the discovery of infidelity. </p> State Of Affairs, 10% Happier, Talk Like TED, TED Talks 4 Books Collection Set <b>Please Note That The Following Individual Books As Per Original ISBN Supplied Individually by Publisher and As Per Cover Image In this Listing shall be Dispatched Collectively :</b> <br> <br> <b>State Of Affairs, 10% Happier, Talk Like TED, TED Talks 4 Books Collection Set </b> <br> <br> <b>State Of Affairs-</b> <br> Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal.

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.

She invites us to explore the paradoxical union of domesticity and sexual desire, and explains what it takes to bring lust home. </p> <p>In her 20 years of clinical experience, Perel has treated hundreds of couples whose home lives are empty of passion. They describe relationships that are open and loving, yet sexually dull. What is going on? </p> <p>In this explosively original book, Perel explains that our cultural penchant for equality, togetherness, and absolute candor is antithetical to erotic desire for both men and women. Sexual excitement doesn't always play by the rules of good citizenship. It is politically incorrect. It thrives on power plays, unfair advantages, and the space between self and other. More exciting, playful, even poetic sex is possible, but first we must kick egalitarian ideals and emotional housekeeping out of our bedrooms. </p> <p>While <i>Mating in Captivity</i> shows why the domestic realm can feel like a cage, Perel's take on bedroom dynamics promises to liberate, enchant, and provoke. Flinging the doors open on erotic life and domesticity, she invites us to put the "X" back in sex.</p>
