Where can we find love and the best relationships? In this witty conversation, we learn that what modern science is discovering about love and intimacy is what an ancient book of wisdom has been saying all along.

Our guest is Dr. Patricia Weerakoon. Patricia is a medical doctor turned sexologist and writer. She was formerly the Director of the Graduate Program in Sexual Health at the University of Sydney. Patricia is known both nationally and internationally as a sexologist, sexual health educator and researcher.
