Summary

The author of I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, The Angry Therapist, now teaches you how to prioritize your relationship with yourself and live a more meaningful life, whether you’re alone, dating, or with a partner.

There’s more to life than loving someone. But being single can feel like a death sentence. Why does being alone equal being lonely? And why do we stop working on ourselves when we’re in a relationship?

After a painful divorce, “The Angry Therapist” John Kim realized he had never truly been on his own. He went on a journey to rebuild his relationship with himself, going from alone and disconnected to alone and fulfilled. Kim has gone on to help thousands of clients find their own unique way to break free of expectations and finally live their truth.

With Single on Purpose, Kim takes his signature no-BS “self-help in a shot glass” approach as he shares his own singlehood story and shows listeners how to own their shit, break their patterns, and find a grounded sense of self.

Spending time to cultivate your relationship with yourself shouldn’t be something you only do when you hit rock bottom, go through a major loss, or have a quarter-life crisis. All of us, at some point, need to be single - on purpose.

Life changing!

John honesty and articulation is game changing in prompting you to think differently and understand yourself! One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened too in terms of content, size and narration!

Insightful

This was good, I feel like it opened my eyes to a lot of things I was repeating or doing wrong. The part about being in my body was important, instead of just using my body actually taking into account how I feel

Just what I needed

I'm wanting to break my unhealthy relationship habits and have a better relationship with myself. This book helped; no-nonsense and very practical. I couldn't stop listening and may well listen to it again.
