About this ebook

The bestselling self-love guide to prioritizing your relationship with yourself and living a more meaningful life, whether you’re alone, dating, or with a partner.

There’s more to life than loving someone, right? 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, bestselling author and “The Angry Therapist” John Kim realized he had never truly been on his own. He went on a journey of personal growth and codependency recovery 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, you will discover:

  • How to navigate loneliness
  • Common challenges and mistakes people encounter in relationships
  • Ways to grow your most important relationship, aka the one you have with yourself
  • and so much more.

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.

The bestselling self-love guide to prioritizing your relationship with yourself and living a more meaningful life, whether you’re alone, dating, or with a partner. There’s more to life than loving someone, right? But being single can feel like a death sentence. Why does being alone = being lonely...

I listened to the unabridged audio of this title from the public library. Sadly the message the author is trying to convey is hurt greatly by his excessive, overuse and abuse of profanity thru out the entire book.Would of been a better book with out all the profanity and foul language.

I rarely read book in my life but I finished this book : Single. On purpose. For the first time I realized that I didn't love myself enough and this book is an eye opener ! Get it today, read, understand and practice. For those who read this review, I pray that you will love yourself more.

I have the physcial copy, and honestly it's the BEST READ i've ever had since going on hiatus. As someone who's life was centered in romance, this was a really great way to shift perspective and put yourself first during and even after a relationship :) It also helped me get to know myself better without the guilt and even related to most experiences as an asian person. I hope everyone tries to read this book cause it's hella worth it!! I still reread it every year just to ground & remind myself
