About this listen

This memoir presents one human story, crafted into art by the power of words. Elisha's carefully planned life collapses with the breakup of a relationship she had built her life around, sending her on a journey into the depths of the global sexy Tantra scene. Wild Thing in Captivity is Eat, Pray, Love for Tantra. It's a coming-of-middle-age tale for Generation X.

In this detective story about how to identify and heal our wounds, Elisha examines her life through the lens of her core wound. There is nothing else like this, with its uniquely candid view of the female sexual experience. It's about why relationships fail and how we might keep them alive, from the lens of both science and spirituality.

Elisha Daeva is a scientist, scholar, and seeker. Since her degree in Human Biology with a focus on Consciousness, she has studied the human animal through psychology, ancient culture, and esoterica.

Critic reviews

"This searingly honest memoir examines notions of happiness and the true meaning of relationship, with all the insights, wisdom, preconceptions, and misconceptions that entails."–Martine McDonagh, author of Narcissism for Beginners.

The book was amazing. It really helped me understand why my partner of 9 years left me.
She got bored. I should have seen the signs she was giving me that she wasn’t happy about our relationship. Elisha explained through her experiences that not everyone is meant to be with the same partner forever. We get bored with each other after time. It’s important if you want to stay together you need to reignite that spark that you both had for each other before it’s too late.
Thanks, Elisha for helping me through my grief.
