<p>Esther Perel is a psychotherapist known for her innovative approach to relationships. In this episode, Adam and Esther discuss the relational baggage we all carry through our lives and into our work, and how our differing personalities and relationship styles can affect collaboration and culture. They break down the differences between relationship- and task-oriented personalities, and consider the fine balance between risk-taking and rule-following that makes for a healthy relationship with ourselves and others.</p><br><p><strong>Host &amp; Guest</strong></p><p>Adam Grant (Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @adammgrant</a> | Website:<a href="https://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://adamgrant.net/</a>)</p><p>Esther Perel (Instagram: @<a href="http://estherperelofficial" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">estherperelofficial</a> | Substack: <a href="https://estherperel.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Entre Nous with Esther Perel</a> | Website: <a href="https://www.estherperel.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.estherperel.com/</a>)</p><p><em>ReThinking is produced by </em><a href="https://www.cosmicstandard.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Cosmic Standard</em></a><em>.
