A narrative guide and practical methodology for nurturing and sustaining our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.

"With intimacy as the foundational principle of our existence, we can build a life based on what we truly need, not what we think we need or have been told we need. By embracing the practice of radical intimacy, I can confidently promise my readers a personal revolution of self-acceptance, appreciation, vitality, and confidence. And without fail, mind-blowing, soul-stirring, earth-shattering sex follows."Zoë Kors
Part practical guide, part client stories, part personal narrative, Zoë Kors draws on her experience as a sex and intimacy coach, thought leader, and relationship writer in sharing her powerful and practical methodology for nurturing and sustaining our intimate relationships over time. She addresses the essential truth that is almost universally missed in discussions of sex and intimacy: We can meet each other only to the extent that we can meet ourselves. Kors guides the reader on a five‑part journey through nine areas of opportunity for deepening intimacy with themselves, their partner, and their world, inviting them to embrace emotional, physical, and energetic self‑mastery, which is required to skillfully relate with others. At the conclusion of each part, there are a collection of experiential exercises which support the reader in embodying the concepts they've just read. Voice-driven, accessible, and with the right amount of tough love, Radical Intimacy takes the mystery out of human connection. From academia and science to mysticism and self-development, Kors delivers a rich and varied understanding of human sexuality and intimacy through the lens of the body, brain, heart, spirit, and culture.

      Kors, a sex and intimacy coach, offers new ways to consider and explore intimacy in her empowering debut. Grounding Kors’s guidance is her “Radical Intimacy Matrix,” a grid illustrating the intersections of “levels of intimacy” (“self,” “other,” and “world”) with “kinds of intimacy” (“emotional,” “physical,” and “energetic”). The author pulls from psychology, personal anecdotes, and client stories to explore the points of her matrix and offer advice on building romantic and platonic intimacy skills. For example, Kors suggests that being in touch with one’s emotions is a crucial precondition of developing emotional intimacy with others and shares exercises to grow this skill, such as thinking about one’s “highest high” and “lowest low,” as well as answering questions such as “where in your body does joy live?” Solo and partnered exercises designed to explore physical intimacy are explicit, detailed, and sometimes surprising (“walk barefoot” outside). Though Kors’s concept of “energetic intimacy” remains hazy, she exudes an easy mix of authority and willingness to meet readers where they are, and her exercises are detailed and easy to follow. Readers looking for a practical and thorough guide to getting closer would do well to start here. Agents: Jan Baumer and Steve Troha, Folio Literary.
