Esther Perel is a world-renowned relationship therapist,
bestselling author, and a fantastic and inspiring speaker. She
has given 20+ million viewed TED talks that had challenged the
views of many people regarding sex, relationships, and
infidelity.

I could not have thought of anyone who is more suitable (and more
keen) for doing the interview with Esther than my wife Dina.

Dina Wittfoth is a neuroscientist working at the Medical School
Hannover, Germany ( and has read and listened to all Esther has
been published). She is my co-host of the podcast "Science on the
Rocks". Dina made an incredible effort to make this interview
happen!
