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. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He is 12 and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth of empathy; he would not forget the lesson.

On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

You know her voice. Now hear her story.
Audible has teamed up with Rolling Stone to produce an uncompromisingly honest Audible Original that honors the life and legacy of the incomparable Aretha Franklin. Aretha’s universal appeal was evident from the release of her first album at age 14 through her nearly 50 Top 40 hits. Yet this intimate biography reminds us that Aretha knew pain as much as she knew glory. It was the blues, residing deep within her soul, that gave way to a voice able to lift millions with a profound sense of freedom, self-worth, and undeniable talent to rise above sorrow.

Introvert's sin
There's a lot of substance in this episode. My big take away though is what I'll call ''the introvert's sin.'' there are a lot of times when introverts can be frustratingly quiet, but they boil down to: we're quiet because we have nothing to say or we're quiet because we have something important to say but won't. That 2nd one is the toxic problem here.

Brilliantly done! Inspiring
Wow! This series is very interesting. Season 2 is just as good as season 1.
Esther Perel’s sessions are all interesting, she creates intimacy with the couples she treats, AND with the listener, and she inspires hope.
This episod is so honest, and it sheds a light on what couples can face when struck by adversity, especially illness. But it is amazing how a session that could be sad, is full of hope, humor, and good will. My heart goes out to this young couple, and they are in my prayers.
The production/editing quality is excellent!
Highly recommended, definitely worth your time, you’ll be surprised how thought provoking or relevant it can be.
