Single On Purpose: Prioritizing Self-Love and Personal Growth in Your Journey Through Life, Dating, and Relationships

The bestselling 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 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.
