Secrets to Healthy Relationships | Esther Perel | The Knowledge Project #71

World-renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel teaches us the art and science of meaningful connection.

Our relationships have the power to make our lives better or worse, yet few of us have been taught the skills and behaviors that build deeper, more meaningful, connections.

We discuss specific methods to deepen your connection with your partner, the tools to "fight fair," reignite romance, and rewrite the narratives that sabotage our relationships.
