Publisher Description
Single, less stressed, and free
If you’re tired of swiping through dating apps, ghosting, and hearing well-meaning questions about why you’re still single, it’s hard not to feel “less-than” because you haven’t found your soul mate.
Until now.
How to Be Single and Happy is an empowering, compassionate guide to stop overanalyzing romantic encounters, get over regrets or guilt about past relationships, and identify what you want and need in a partner. But this isn’t just another dating book. Drawing on her extensive expertise as a clinical psychologist, as well as the latest research, hundreds of patient interviews, and key principles in positive psychology, Dr. Jennifer Taitz challenges the most common myths about women and love (like the advice to play hard to get). And while she teaches how to skillfully date, she’ll also help you cultivate the mindset, values, and connections that ensure you’ll live your best, happiest life, whether single or coupled up.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Acknowledging that the search for love is filled with uncertainty and self-doubt, clinical psychologist Taitz presents readers with helpful tools to better navigate their romantic lives and their time spent alone. The book doubles as a guide to more general self-care, as Taitz's central message "The more present you can be, the more fulfillment you will experience" can be applied to all aspects of life. However, Taitz focuses on identifying common psychological missteps in the realm of dating, particularly as they pertain to today's dating culture. She shows how ruminating on past relationships which is increasingly common thanks to social media contributes to depression, anxiety, and overall stress. Taitz is a knowledgeable, empathetic teacher whose goals here are more about a change in perspective than tangible outcomes.
