How To Strengthen And Repair Our Relationships With Others

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, ButcherBox, and
Athletic Greens. Depending on what form they take, our
relationships with others can either make our lives fulfilling and
joyful or stressful and even sad. Everyone has the intention to
live well and feel happy, but so many of our choices derail us from
those goals. Investing our time and energy into our relationships
(even the one we have with ourselves) might be the key. In today’s
episode, I talk with Dr. Robert Waldinger, Esther Perel, and
Angelika Alana about why relationships are so important to our
health and how to be the best version of yourself in them. Dr.
Robert Waldinger is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical
School, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development at
Massachusetts General Hospital, and cofounder of the Lifespan
Research Foundation. Dr. Waldinger received his AB from Harvard
College and his MD from Harvard Medical School. He is a practicing
psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, and he directs a psychotherapy
teaching program for Harvard psychiatry residents. Dr. Waldinger is
also a Zen master (roshi) and teaches meditation in New England and
around the world. Esther Perel, psychotherapist and New York Times
bestselling author, is recognized as one of today’s most insightful
and original voices on modern relationships. Fluent in nine
languages, she helms a therapy practice in New York City and serves
as an organizational consultant for Fortune 500 companies around
the world. Her celebrated TED Talks have garnered more than 30
million views and her bestselling books, Mating in Captivity and
The State of Affairs, are global phenomena translated into nearly
30 languages. Angelika Alana is the founder and CEO of the Somatic
Healing Institute. She has been featured in Vanity Fair, Well+Good,
and Modern Luxury. She certifies coaches and facilitators in her
transformational body-based healing method. She has traveled and
studied extensively in Indonesia, Brazil, Australia, and the UK,
