Publisher's Summary

Best-selling author Mark Manson brings his signature no-nonsense wisdom back to the subject he started his career covering: relationships. Being with your partner may feel like rainbows and unicorns, but that doesn't mean you have a healthy, functioning relationship. Sure, we all need love...but love is not enough.

In Love Is Not Enough, Mark’s first Audible Original, you’ll follow five real people over the course of six months as they navigate f--ked up romantic situations, ranging from dating app addiction to marital affairs to absurd fantasies. At regular intervals, they check in with Mark, share their stories, and soak up some advice. As you listen to these candid, funny, and moving conversations, you’ll learn how to stand up for yourself when you feel the most vulnerable. You'll learn how our imaginations derail intimacy, how our deepest desires can lead us into trouble. You'll learn how to open yourself up, and you'll develop the courage to say and hear that necessary word, "no." You'll learn how to love. And you'll learn that love is not enough.

So Appreciative

What a way to see through other people how your points about relationships work in a real world context. The drawing of conclusions from these examples gave me a real comprehensive understanding of your points. Mark - everyone would love a therapist like you. Thank you for this gem. I hope you sell a million copies!

Really recommend!

Obs I’m here cuz I’ve gone through a break up. Reading some reviews I was skeptical because not everyone loved it. Also going through the book I almost skipped through some of the interviews because I didn’t think I resonated with certain characters, but I did resonate someway with every single one. I also almost cried at the end cuz one of the character hits too close to home for me, but I was at work and had to really hold back my emotions. I will re read this book a few times to hopefully implement some of these homework/discoveries to my life in hopes to be better and do better in my relationships. I’m really happy I found this book! Thank you so much!

Best book on relationships

Wish I would've listened to this years ago. The stories were relatable and real. Mark is very articulate with his words and his questions are very purposeful to draw out the deep rooted issues we sometimes don't see in ourselves. Thanks Mark Manson for your work. This will help so much people.

10/10 changed my mindset and way of being

I’ve had this book on repeat to sleep to, wake up to, and listen to daily, first few times to soak it in, now because I can’t find anything better or even similar that I’d like to listen to on this app. 10/10 you did a great job, Mark.

Awesome concept

Mark and co took an awesome concept and just knocked it out of the park. I can only hope that further interviews/parts to this series come out sometime in the future.

Very interesting - would buy again

This book wont change my life but it seriously helps me understand some important concepts (boundaries, co-dependency, what a healthy conflict looks like...) and really got me thinking. I am currently re-listen another time right away. I really like that the book is performed by the author. I like hearing the stories from the people. Really a great buy. I'm considering offering it as a gift now.

Podcast style breezy listen

I enjoyed this format of audiobook. Felt like I was in someone’s living room eavesdropping (with permission) on a very honest and open conversation between two people. You might listen to the stories and think this is passé, or you’re too wise and above this, but Mark Manson peppers these stories with observations, examples, and concepts that bring to light some blind spots I personally was unaware of.

I recommend this for anyone who wants to make a deeper connection with themselves.
