“I imagine a world in which we can experience our relationships with a sense of vitality, aliveness, and vibrancy, because I live with one perennial truth: the quality of your relationships is what determines the quality of your life.”

Psychotherapist Esther Perel is recognized as one of today’s most insightful and original voices on modern relationships. Her bestseller Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence has been translated into 24 languages. She is also an executive producer and the host of the Audible original audio series Where Should We Begin?

At SXSW 2018, Perel was an Interactive Keynote speaker and also signed copies of her latest book, The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity. The quote is taken from her March 9, 2018 Keynote, for which she was honored as Speaker of the Event at the 2018 Interactive Innovation Awards ceremony.
