The Biggest Mistakes People Make In Relationships

IS “HAPPILY EVER AFTER” A MYTH?

Gloria Steinem once said, “Far too many people are looking for the right person instead of trying to become the right person.” She’s right. But chances are if you’re a listener of this show, then you’re already prioritizing self improvement in your life — so becoming a better person is important to you. 

Here’s the thing though: the road to greatness is a tough, often lonely, journey. The partner we choose to spend our time with will have a MASSIVE impact on the person we become, on whether or not we achieve our goals, and on our overall level of happiness. 

Relationships help shape who we are, so it’s critical to take your time finding the right one, and to take your time in putting in the effort to make it last. That’s why I’m SO pumped for this special mashup episode of The School of Greatness! Today’s show is all about relationships, and I’ve taken some of my favorite highlights from SOG guests to share their expert advice on the topic.

“Love enjoys knowing everything about you; desire needs mystery.” @EstherPerel  

Esther Perel – Esther Perel is a Belgian psychotherapist and an organizational consultant for several Fortune 500 companies worldwide — to keep up, she is even fluent in nine languages! She is also the executive producer and host of the celebrated podcast Where Should We Begin — a podcast for anyone who has ever loved and How’s Work?, where she provides one-time therapy sessions with co-workers and co-founders, giving them a new perspective on the invisible forces that shape the connections, dynamics, and conflicts in the workplace. Her popular TED talks have more than 28 million views and counting. 

Esther Perel is also a New York Times best-selling author of, The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity, a book that took a provocative look at relationships through the lens of infidelity. Another bestselling book of Esther’s is Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence that investigates the paradoxical relationship between domesticity and sexual desire and discusses what it takes to bring home lust.

Lori Gottlieb – Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and author of the New York Times best seller, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, which is being adapted as a television series for ABC. In addition to her clinical practice, she writes The Atlantic’s weekly “Dear Therapist” advice column and contributes regularly to The New York Times and many other publications. 

Her most recent TED Talk is one of the top 10 most watched of the year. A member of the Advisory Council for Bring Change to Mind, she is a sought-after expert in media such as The Today Show, Good Morning America, The CBS This Morning, CNN, and NPR’s “Fresh Air.” She is also the co-host of the new iHeart Radio podcast, “Dear Therapists,” produced by Katie Couric.
