Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence by Esther Perel

challenging reflective medium-paced

4.5

My favorite takeaway from this book is that intimacy must be intentional. It's not revolutionary advice, but she lays it out in a thoroughly convincing way that I started to think about how to intentionally nurture playfulness in a domestic relationship. 

I also love her writing style: eloquent, direct, but still beautiful. She doesn't mince words but she doesn't come across as superior or preachy. 

It's a well-structured book worth a read for anyone seeking insight on intimacy in long-term relationships.
