Publisher's Summary

An upbeat guide for single women on how to navigate the crazy world of modern dating and live their best lives, whether single or coupled It's easy to fall into a bad relationship with dating today, especially for single women. From living in fear of being "ghosted" to enduring endless well-meaning questions about why you haven't found Mr. Right yet, it's tough to be unattached without feeling you're somehow inadequate or doomed to spend life alone and depressed! According Dr. Jenny Taitz, acclaimed relationship psychologist and behavioral therapy specialist, it's time for a reality check: single women are not a "problem" to be "solved". In How to Be Single, Dr. Taitz draws on clinical research, hundreds of patient interviews, and positive psychology principles to bust the myths that relationships are cure-alls for unhappiness and being single is "bad". Instead, this clever, inspiring guide shows savvy single ladies how to stop overanalyzing romantic encounters, get over regrets or guilt about failed relationships and dates that disappeared, and identify and cultivate the values and connections that make them happiest. Dr. Taitz also shares proven strategies for building fulfilling lives around themselves first, helping single women better identify what they want and need in a partner and become more skillful daters in the process. The result is women living their best lives, with or without a partner. Author bio: Jennifer L. Taitz, Psy.D., A.B.P.P., is a board-certified cognitive behavioral clinical psychologist and a certified dialectical behavioral therapist who has written for Fox News Health and The Huffington Post. The author of End Emotional Eating and a founding board member of the New York City Association for Contextual Behavior Science, Dr. Taitz has presented at conferences nationally and internationally on novel clinical applications in mindfulness and relationships. She lives in Los Angeles, CA, where she has a clinical psychology and counseling practice.

Great book with a lot of depth

I found this book very helpful after a divorce and facing being single. It also helped me figure out what I valued and gave me a healthy direction for when looking for my soul mate. I'm very happy I got this audiobook.

Highly Recommended!!!

This book really helped me to shift my perspective on dating and other areas of my life! It's very easy to listen to and follow along with! I actually listened to it twice and have recommended it to many singles! The advice is actually advice you want to hear and probably actually need! I can't say enough about it! Such a good book!!!

Amazing for anyone single or not

Don’t let the title turn you away from this book. This book has helped me shift my perspective so much and I love how the author used both scientific and anecdotal evidence. This book literally teaches you ways to be happy as a single individual and not just for single people who want relationships. I highly recommended to anyone who wants to get out of their head and feel happier.

Best self help book I’ve read

This book isn’t like other self help books I’ve read and is about you not how you qualify to others. Self growth, self satisfaction, not about making you look better for a potential partner. I take this book on advice about life not about just relationships. #Audible1
