Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Esther Perel’s narration in The State of Affairs is as compelling as her content. Her voice is soothing yet direct, perfectly capturing the intimate and sometimes uncomfortable truths she explores. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each concept to resonate fully before moving on. What sets this audiobook apart is its raw honesty—Perel doesn’t shy away from discussing topics that many find too personal or awkward. However, there are moments where the content feels a bit repetitive, which might not engage all listeners equally. Nonetheless, for those seeking deep insights into modern relationships, Perel’s masterful storytelling makes this audiobook indispensable.
