About this audiobook
Single, less stressed, and free
Between swiping through dating apps, being ghosted, and hearing well-meaning questions about why you’re still single, it’s easy to feel “less-than” because you haven’t found your soul mate. Until now. How to Be Single and Happy will empower you 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 you how to date skillfully, she’ll also help you to cultivate the mind-set, values, and connections that will ensure you’ll live your best, happiest life, whether single or coupled up.
“Jenny Taitz offers compassionate guidance that can free our hearts from a binding cultural myth.”—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pros: I learned some new things and I’m also willing to try some of the suggestions as well.
Cons: The narrator kept losing me because I couldn’t tell who she was talking about. All of the stories were more like a run on sentence. Plus the narrator was kind of monotone for most of the recording.
I tried so hard to understand what she was talking about or who she was referring to but I kept getting lost. The story kept referring to some guy that was a rock star or lady that was a power house, but they both were together and different at the same time. Actually, I’m not sure who all the characters were because she kept going backwards and referencing previous chapters and that really confused me.
I listened to this entire audiobook twice without success so that’s the reason for the rating. There are some gems and great suggestions throughout the recording. I especially like the suggestions to be kinder to myself and to talk about myself like I would in a eulogy. Otherwise, this audiobook is just okay. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really really helpful book for shifting perspective on a break up. I especially appreciated the short examples that I tend to struggle with in determining if I’m compromising WITH a person or if I’m compromising ME, the person. Great short read that helped get through a frustrating in between space for me. Definitely recommending this one to a few friends.
