Summary

Tony and Sage Robbins are excited to share this exclusive episode featuring world-renowned psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel. Recorded at the 2017 Platinum Partners Relationship Event, Esther joins Tony and Sage for a deep dive into the complexities of love, desire, and intimacy in modern relationships.

Through a thought-provoking presentation and engaging audience questions, Esther explores the evolving expectations we place on romantic partnerships—how we now seek one person to be both our source of stability and adventure, security and passion. She delves into the contradictions between love and desire, the reasons infidelity occurs even in loving relationships, and the role of imagination in keeping intimacy alive.

Guiding the audience through deep reflections, interactive exercises, and powerful insights, Esther shares practical wisdom on cultivating connection, navigating relationship challenges, and reigniting passion. Together, they explore how cultural conditioning shapes intimacy, why we struggle with the idea of “the one” in a world of endless choices, and the seven key verbs that define the dynamics of a relationship. Offering a fresh perspective on sustaining desire in long-term partnerships, Esther reveals how to reconcile the paradoxes of modern love.

Whether you're in a relationship, seeking one, or reevaluating your approach to love, this episode will challenge your perspectives and leave you with actionable takeaways to enhance the quality of your relationships—and, ultimately, your life.

Please enjoy!
