Esther Perel

Esther Perel’s warning is clear: “We are more and more sleepwalking into isolation.” Her work as a psychotherapist is, in part, an attempt to build connections in a disconnected world. This fall, she's going on tour, gathering strangers, friends, and lovers for an evening of connection and togetherness. She tells Rachel about what she learned while busking in Amsterdam in her youth, and her intimate relationship with dread.
