BITESIZE | Improve Your Relationship and...

Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author
About this episode

Relationships are integral to our lives – they can bring us joy and happiness but navigating them can sometimes be hard.


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my new weekly podcast for your mind, body and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today’s clip is from episode 119 of the podcast with Esther Perel. Esther is arguably one of the world’s leading and most original thinkers on modern relationships.


She explains why relationships shape every aspect of our lives and why we often feel under pressure to have the perfect relationship.


Esther talks us through how much the concept of marriage has changed over the past century and how our modern-day relationships are so different from the relationships of the past. Where once we would have had support from extended families and communities, increasingly we look to just one person to meet all our needs.


Esther believes it is the quality of our relationships that determines the quality of our lives and she offers some relationship tips we can all start implementing today.
