(HS Perel 096187 2022) The Great Adaptation

Course overview

Influential therapist Esther Perel is the author of the bestsellers Mating in Captivity and The State of Affairs, and host of the popular podcasts "Where Should We Begin" and "How's Work?" Her TED Talks have garnered more than 20 million views, and she's been named one of Oprah Winfrey's SuperSoul 100 visionaries. Now Perel's turning her laser-sharp focus to how these last years have laid bare the importance of being able to reevaluate our goals and loosen the rigidity we've been told will hold our work, families, communities, and our very lives together. Adaptability - knowing how to sway when the heavy winds of an unforeseeable change pick up - has become the order of the day. How many of us grew up being told to stand straight, hold our heads high, and plow forward in this life with courage and determination? It's the American way. Know your goal, set your intention, don't deviate, and all will work out in the end. But what happens when the world itself wobbles? What becomes of our plans, and the carefully structured realities we often rely on to justify our existence? What becomes of us? In this recording, Perel will take us on a journey of exploring how learning to absorb unexpected changes and unforeseen possibilities can be its own grounding force - one that's better suited to the newly shaken world we and our clients now call home.
