Esther Perel:友谊是人生中最重要的关系之一,这从她父母的经历中可见一斑。爱与承诺不应局限于浪漫关系,友谊中也包含着深刻的爱与承诺。她关注到在不同文化背景下建立友谊的挑战,以及家庭背景对友谊的影响。最近的家庭健康问题让她更加体会到朋友和社区的重要性。她认为友谊是孩子能自主选择的首个关系,这与家庭成员关系不同。在生日派对的背景下,她认为朋友们更看重的是彼此间的陪伴和情感联结,而非深入的谈话。朋友们来参加生日派对,是为了表达对他的重视,而非需要他给予什么回报。友谊的核心在于彼此的重视和认可,以及对对方生命的重要性。她建议在派对上采用一种互动的方式,让宾客们分享他们与他的回忆,从而更有效地表达彼此间的联系。她建议Neil Patrick Harris在日程中安排专门的时间用于维系人际关系。 Neil Patrick Harris:他与儿时朋友Cody Willard至今仍保持联系,体现了友谊的持久性。由于家庭责任(孩子),他很难抽出时间结交新朋友并维系友谊,只能进行简单的问候式交流。他曾在50岁生日派对上感到自己表现不佳,没有给予每位朋友足够的关注,觉得自己没有很好地维系友谊。他认为50岁是一个新的开始,他准备好以更成熟的姿态去分享自己的经验和智慧。他承认自己有时回复信息较慢,因为生活忙碌,需要在不同事情之间权衡。他通过给自己发短信的方式来提醒自己联系朋友们,认为电话和语音留言是维系友谊的重要方式。这次谈话让他意识到自己需要更关注人际关系,并感到既兴奋又焦虑。

In her new Apple Subscription Esther is joined by the actor and Tony Award winner Neil Patrick Harris for an intimate chat.
