NEWARK, N.J., May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Audible Inc., the
world's largest seller and producer of downloadable audiobooks and
other spoken word entertainment, today announced the release of
Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel, an original audio
series hosted by renowned therapist and international bestselling
author, Esther Perel. An authority on modern love and relationships
and well-known for her viral TED Talks on intimacy and infidelity,
Esther Perel's singular approach to counseling is transformative
for real couples struggling with complex interpersonal challenges.
In ten episodes featuring ten different couples, Esther Perel
masterfully unravels the ubiquitous themes in relationships,
uncovering the universal and unforgettable stories hidden in
intimate spaces. New episodes will be available every Friday, for
free through mid-July at Audible.com/Esther.
The show tackles a range of issues including infidelity,
sexlessness, trauma and impotence, and each episode captures the
dissonance, pleasure, longing, joyfulness, confusion and pain faced
in all meaningful relationships. Esther's therapeutic work focuses
on the couples' history and personal evolution, and her emphasis on
candid dialogue grants intimate and relatable insights into the
most surprising truths. The effect is surprising, as listeners
begin to recognize themselves in each couple's story.
"Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel is my most
creative project to date," said Perel. "In this original audio
series co-produced with Audible, I invite you into the back room of
these ten couples' raw, unscripted intimate conversations. My work
is about creating spaces for bold and meaningful conversations
where you participate as a speaker and as a listener. While you may
think you are listening in on the intimate conversations of other
couples, you realize you are standing in front of a mirror,
listening to a conversation you may wish to have with your
partner."
"At Audible, we value the power of spoken word, and its ability
to offer a new perspective through storytelling," said Audible
Chief Content Officer Andy Gaies.
"Esther's way of eliciting these couples' perspectives creates a
unique window into relationships and a compelling narrative that
will captivate our listeners."
Esther Perel's international bestseller, Mating in
Captivity, has been translated into twenty-six
languages. Perel is an acclaimed speaker on the international
stage, with two critically praised TED Talks that have reached over
17 million viewers. She has consulted on the Golden Globe-winning
television series The Affair.
With a 30-day membership trial at Audible or with an Amazon
Prime membership, listeners can enjoy the entire series, Where
Should We Begin? with Esther Perel for free.
