The Humane Representation of Thought on Vimeo

vimeo.com/115154289

[…] But the dynamic medium offers the opportunity to deliberately invent a humane and empowering form of knowledge work.

Esther Perel: Rethinking infidelity ... a talk for anyone who has ever loved | Talk Video | TED.com

ted.com/talks/esther_perel_rethinking_infidelity_a_talk_for_anyone_who_has_ever_loved

Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal. But does it have to be? Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic: because they threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected — an expression of longing and loss. A must-watch for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships.
