About this listen

The author of I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, The Angry Therapist, now teaches you how to prioritize your relationship with yourself and live a more meaningful life, whether you’re alone, dating, or with a partner.

There’s more to life than loving someone. But being single can feel like a death sentence. Why does being alone equal being lonely? And why do we stop working on ourselves when we’re in a relationship?

After a painful divorce, “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, Kim takes his signature no-BS “self-help in a shot glass” approach as he shares his own singlehood story and shows listeners how to own their shit, break their patterns, and find a grounded sense of self.

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.

Intuitive

This book lends the reader a new perspective on loving yourself first. Wether you are single or in a relationship, I believe this book is a must read. Many of us especially in long term monogamous relationships forget the value in ourselves. Jon has written an incredible guide to improving your own self worth.

Loved it

I love the style of this book it’s raw it’s real there’s no bullshit. John Kim reads it himself which I really like. It kept my interest the entire time which I find very difficult to do with most books - so this worked really well for me. I love how positive it is… some of the other books I’ve been reading, have been somewhat depressing, but he gives real Tips on how to move forward I like that highly recommend.

If your in a relationship or if your single this book will help you immensely

Such a great book! The way the chapters are laid out is great for coming back and listening to certain parts. Although I likely will be reading this book for al the way through every year ! I love how throughout the book he suggests actionable tasks. This really was the book I was looking for, it really gave me what I needed to move forward with my life. Thank you so much John, I feel a debt to you and I will be suggesting this book to everyone.

Written from the heart, speaks from the soul!

Must read for singles and couples and everyone literally! Heart warming and soul searching, like a hot chocolate with pumpkin spice, vodka and chicken soup all wrapped in one. Okay jkjk , it's not gross I promise! Wholesome alert! Highly recommend!
