The phrase "Where should we begin?" is often an invitation to start a conversation, a process, or an exploration, depending on the context. One notable modern use is the podcast and therapy series "Where Should We Begin?" by Esther Perel, a psychotherapist who invites listeners to step into real therapy sessions with couples and individuals seeking insight. It is a space to start deep conversations from intimate and profound life stories, often about relationships, breakups, conflicts, and personal growth. The idea is to begin somewhere meaningful that opens connection and understanding.
Additionally, "Where Should We Begin?" is also the title of a game by Esther Perel designed to spark deep conversations and play with friends, family, or coworkers, where the starting point is determined by story cards and prompts to foster connection.
If the question is philosophical or practical—"Where should we begin?"—the answer depends on the context and goal. It could be starting with what feels most urgent, most foundational, or most intriguing to the people involved. If there is a specific domain or context where this question applies (like a project, relationship, journey, or learning), clarifying that would help provide a focused starting point recommendation.
