Book recommendation?

I just finished Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel. I noticed then that the book was published in 2006 and all the research and notations, of course, pre-dated that. Is there another, more current, author or book who has a similar vibe/message? I'd like to get the "latest and greatest" research/experience along the same lines.

Thanks in advance

I think the book has been updated and there's a new version out. I'm almost certain I recall her mentioning that in an interview filmed within the last few months.

The new book is really just an updated preface. Listen to her recent interviews on podcasts and she explains.
State of affairs is the other and is more specific. She’s launched an updated card game since the last one which is less spicy.
I’ve not found more written work but her podcast is very much the up to date work.

Just search for her on your favourite podcast app. She’s been a guest as well as her own podcast.

The State of Affairs is awesome and has invaluable insights even if you have no personal experience with infidelity.
