Comedians joke about the loss of passion in relationships, and we all laugh. We don't expect the excitement to last anymore. At best, we've consigned ourselves to being best friends, so we choose our mates based on compatibility, not attraction. The sad result: We don't seem to have the same intensity for life that our ancestors once had.Best-selling author Rabbi Shmuley Boteach joins Deepak Chopra to explore the differences between genders and the solutions for ailing relationships. They hail from two unique perspectives: the ancient religious traditions of cabalistic Judaism and Vedanta. Using stories, jokes, and Biblical examples, Boteach explores relationships and spiritual energies of the masculine and feminine from the Jewish perspective. Chopra delves deeper into the spiritual side, explaining that we are closest to true spirituality and our own potential as human beings when we are in a state of passion. Together, they discover several common threads among the ancient teachings, including the notion that we need both passion and intimacy to restore health to our relationships and our society.
