Description
The State of Affairs book by Esther Perel
The State of Affairs is a thought-provoking book about infidelity, relationships, desire, trust, and the complex realities of modern love. Renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel challenges the idea that an affair simply means a relationship has failed, exploring why people cheat and what infidelity can reveal about individuals and their partnerships.
Drawing on decades of experience working with couples, Perel examines the many motivations behind affairs, including unmet needs, desire for novelty, emotional connection, identity, and the search for a different version of oneself. She also explores the difficult aftermath of betrayal and asks whether relationships can survive—and even grow stronger—after an affair.
Insightful and compassionate, the book moves beyond simple judgments about right and wrong to examine the emotional and psychological forces that shape intimate relationships.
