How to Be Single and Happy ─ Science-Based Strategies for Keeping Your Sanity While Looking for a Soul Mate

An inspiring guide for single women on how to navigate the crazy world of modern dating and live their best lives, whether single or coupled

It's easy to fall into a bad relationship with dating today, especially for single women. From living in fear of being "ghosted" to enduring endless well-meaning questions about why you haven't found Mr. Right yet, it's tough to be unattached without feeling you’re somehow inadequate or doomed to spend life alone and depressed!

According Dr. Jenny Taitz, acclaimed relationship psychologist and behavioral therapy specialist, it's time for a reality check: single women are not a "problem" to be "solved". In How to Be Single, Dr. Taitz draws on clinical research, hundreds of patient interviews, and positive psychology principles to bust the myths that relationships are cure-alls for unhappiness and being single is "bad". Instead, this clever guide shows single ladies how to stop overanalyzing romantic encounters, get over regrets or guilt about failed relationships and dates that disappeared, and identify and cultivate the values and connections that make them happiest. Dr. Taitz also shares proven strategies for building fulfilling lives around themselves first, helping single women better identify what they want and need in a partner and become more skillful daters in the process.
