Description:
***NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** Is there such a thing as an affair-proof
marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Why do people
cheat? Can an affair ever help a marriage?Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal.
But does it have to be? Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why
people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic; because they
threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected -
an expression of longing and loss. A must-read for anyone who has ever
cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for
understanding relationships.'Esther Perel does nothing short of strip us of our
deepest biases, remind us of our purpose in connecting as lovers, and save
relationships that might otherwise sink into the sea-all with even-handed
wisdom, fresh morality, and wise prose. Thank heavens for this woman.' -
Lena Dunham'Beautiful. A brilliantly intelligent plea for complexity,
understanding, and - as always - kindness.' - Alain de Botton'She's the guru on
relationships... she's the first person I ask for advice' - Cara Delevingne'Wisest
sex therapist we ever did meet. Her new book, THE STATE OF AFFAIRS,
proposes a new perspective on infidelity' - GRAZIA

Review quote
'Perel's beautiful new book asks us to pause and examine our prejudices and
assumptions around affairs - and to hold off on our usual knee jerk attempts to
approve or condemn. She wants, first and foremost, that we understand why
infidelity happens and what really occurs when it does. Anyone who thinks
they understand the topic already needs to read this book urgently. Perel's
work amounts to a brilliantly intelligent plea for complexity, understanding
and-always-kindness.' -- Alain de Botton
