Mating in Captivity - by Esther Perel

This book was something of a “curate’s egg” - it was good in parts. Overall, I found it rather disorganized and never quite felt that I knew in what direction it was going. I rather expected an analysis of “the problem”, some instruction on how to overcome it and some reports on success stories. Instead, it is a very broad look at the issues and challenges with longer term relationships, with hints on how they might be optimized. I expected an instruction manual; I got some inspirational reading. So, all was not lost.
