About this audiobook

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 = 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 readers 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.

Ratings and reviews

Hands down one of the best personal development books I've read or listened to. I can't say enough about it. I felt like John spoke directly and precisely to me. If you are looking for a book that speaks clearly and directly to you, without confusing and nebulous concepts that are impossible to get a grasp of, don't miss it or any of the other books written by John Kim. I highly recommend it. Thank you John.

Great book to listen to, was recommended by a friend that I could empathize with what she is going through. We're both going to therapy ,both have been divorced for almost 2 years and this book hit all the right spots if not not more.

This audio book is very deep and very strong and can easily dig up tons of suppressed emotions and help us understand how to work through those step by step in relationships with others and in our relationship that we should have with ourselves. It also has curse words and talks about sexuality/drug experience so don't buy it for young audiences unless an adult has approved it for a mature younger person.
