My full conversation from @SXSW on the @VoxMedia stage with @Trevornoah is now available! Join us as we explore laughter’s role in navigating life’s complexities and much more. From shared moments of humor to invaluable insights, including my advice on becoming a better listener, and Trevor’s tips on conquering stage fright as I prepare for my U.S. tour. Listen now on “Where Should We Begin?” through the link in my bio. Stay tuned for the Audience Q A, exclusively on my Apple Podcasts subscription later this week.

Be careful not to lose your humanity.
—
Be careful to separate people from the policies of their governments.
Be careful to separate people from the actions of terrorists who live among them.
Be careful not to collapse history and context into narrow interpretation.
Be careful not to eschew complexity and nuance for the sake of memeification.
Be careful to recognize that grief for one side does not mean hate for the other.
Be careful to understand that support for one side does not mean hate for the other.
Be careful of gaslighting on a mass level: disinformation and denial of loss.
Be careful not to dismiss the excruciating and real pain of others. Do not make it worse.
Be careful not to say things online that you would not say to someone in real life.
Be careful not to add hatred on top of hatred; we are all being crushed underneath its compounding weight.
Be careful not to lose empathy for those with whom you disagree.
Be careful not to dehumanize others. Doing so dehumanizes you.
Do not lose touch with the parts of you needed most:
Your compassion. Your humanity. Your care.
It is my pleasure to invite you to join me for my first-ever U.S. tour — An Evening With Esther Perel: The Future of Relationships, Love & Desire. Tickets are now available to the general public and selling quickly!
A truism that we all know but often forget is that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. And I am truly appreciative of the many meaningful connections I share with my audience and our community. This tour will allow me to meet you, in real life, in my home city of New York City as well as in Philadelphia, Boston, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco.
If you can make it, I would love to see you there. And if you have questions for me, themes you hope we cover, conversations you hope to start — please share them in the comments section below and tag those you’d like to come with! I’ll be listening to you ever more closely as I prepare to join you all for this immersive, interactive experience.

Friendship is a unique love story, offering us community and continuity amidst life’s changes. Lifelong friends witness our journey through various trials and tribulations. But just as friendships provide freedom and choice, they can also fluctuate. Suddenly you can say, “I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.” While it’s rare for friendships to end with a clear statement like in romantic relationships, it’s important to approach it with kindness and integrity, acknowledging the boundaries and expectations inherent in any love story.
We can just be grateful they happened, or—depending on the situation—relieved to move on.
I previously had a conversation with @TheCut to respond to the most popular relationship questions from their audience, like the one highlighted here.

Join me on the latest episode of the @NYTimes Modern Love podcast as I read Karin Jones’s Modern Love essay, “What Sleeping With Married Men Taught Me About Infidelity.”
Following the publication of her essay in 2018, Jones encountered significant backlash. Conversations surrounding infidelity remain challenging even today. Reflecting on this, I offer a deeper examination of Karin Jones’s perspective. Tune in to the full episode through the link in my bio.

Can two people meet each other’s needs without having to sacrifice a part of themselves? In a brand new episode of Where Should We Begin? I speak with a woman who grapples with past betrayals, and questions whether she can overcome her fears and embrace a future where love isn’t tainted by past wounds. Listen to “My Exes Exes Keep Ruining My Relationships” through the link in my bio.

As the East Coast leg of the tour comes to an end, I’m returning to one of the cities I proudly call home. These last weeks have held many unforgettable moments already—from Philadelphia to Boston to Washington D.C.
Thank you for joining me in the theater, for your curiosity and vulnerability, and for co-creating this show with me. As I prepare to take the stage in New York, I welcome you all: whether you arrive solo, in the company of friends, or alongside strangers, by the show’s end, you will leave with newfound connections and a deepened sense of shared humanity. Tickets for the April 18th show are nearly sold out, and seats are still available for April 17th through the link in my bio.

@estherperelofficial, the Belgian-born daughter of two Polish Holocaust survivors, 65, has captivated millions in recent years with her disarming sense of humor, her polyglot’s worldly vocabulary and her daring but generously humane philosophies on love.
Her work as a therapist and lecturer has been popular ever since the 2006 publication of “Mating in Captivity,” her guide to ensuring domesticity and sexual desire can coexist in long-term relationships.
Lately, Perel has been thinking a lot about loneliness, and how it looms ever larger over a society that believes it’s hyperconnected. So with help, she created “An Evening With Esther Perel.”

Mary Alice Miller has been my trusted collaborator for the past five years. It has been a journey of shared creativity, where ideas blossom, words flow, and projects thrive. Recently, as we prepared for my upcoming U.S. tour, we engaged in a reflective conversation about the significance of play, creativity, my past theater experience, and the profound importance of storytelling.
In close collaboration, there comes a point where those working alongside you often understand you better than you understand yourself. They possess a unique ability to see through the mechanisms of forgetfulness and denial, offering insights and perspectives that you might overlook. When we come together, we create. Through conversations such as this one, old memories are unlocked, new stories are shared, and a fresh idea is born.
So, at this moment, I don’t go in front of the mirror. I go in front of @MaryAliceMiller. Visit the link in my bio for our full conversation on my Apple Podcast subscription.
