About this listen
A sanity-saving guide that cuts through the sky-high expectations of modern love and helps you build healthier and more fulfilling relationships, from the creator of viral Instagram account YourDiagnonsense
“Witty, practical, fun, and deeply honest.”—Terrence Real, New York Times bestselling author of Us
You’re not crazy. You’re human.
Modern love is a mess and life is (spoiler alert!) very hard. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or on the apps, buckle up, there’s a lot to unlearn.
How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind is your guide to sanity in a culture gone mad. Psychotherapist and sex therapist Todd Baratz blends sharp humor with raw insight as he challenges us to break every rule about love. It’s time to move beyond the relentless pursuit of the perfect partner, to challenge the stigma against neediness, and to rethink our obsession with diagnosing common challenges as disorders.
Instead, he offers an empowering new perspective: Embrace challenges, feel deeply, make mistakes, learn, and grow. Drawing from his extensive experience as both a therapist and a patient, Baratz shares stories of navigating his personal traumas and guiding others through theirs.
This book is an invitation to understand your life as part of a larger cultural narrative. It encourages you to delve into your history, cultivate self-awareness, and take responsibility in your relationships. By doing so, you can move beyond the fairy tale and transform your approach to love.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of resources and a key visual aid from the book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Does dating turn you into a doormat for men who don’t even wipe their feet? You spend several dates with a guy, laughing at his use of comedy movie quotes, agreeing with his choice of literature, and hoping that he’ll want to “define the relationship”. You diminish yourself and spend the whole time raising him up. Only for him to ghost you.

Story
The qualities that men love and look for in a woman while on a date will be very, very different from the qualities women want and desire most in a man. Unfortunately, it's this lack of knowledge regarding these differences that tends to confuse and trip many women up during those first few dates. If you don't know what men want and what makes them feel love-smitten on a date, then you might find yourself struggling to connect with quality men and unable to keep them interested in you.

Story
It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Story
Humans are social animals. But it is nearly impossible to build healthy, sustainable bonds with others without first having a good relationship with yourself. To get along with others, we often alter our habits or subsume our unique personalities. By trying to transform or suppress our true selves, we erode our self-worth and self-knowledge. We begin to lose sight of who we really are and what we truly want. When our self-understanding and self-confidence are damaged, it ultimately hurts our relationships.

But no one has approached the subject of its equally damaging cousin--relationship addiction. Relationship ...

Reinvigorate hipe
Im a huge fan of Todds instagram and email newsletter but found this book rather blasé in comparisoon. Lots of gems and great refreshing perspectives aside from culturally predominant narratives that get regurgitated over and over again. He does make some astute points but generally takes a while to get there. I appreciate the self revelatory bits to humanize him as a therapist and contextualize his advice and recommendations. Still it felt more like a conversation with a friend about their experiences than any real concrete advise on how to navigate relationship conflict besides “communicate and keep an open mind” which can be heard on any blog or forum.

The Car Story (Fanning Self)
I really loved this book. It gave me a lot to think about and how it’s okay to have feelings about everything. That it’s okay to talk about your fears and challenges. How to not have huge expectations but to be curious and I guess open to possibilities whatever they may be. Not be bogged down by a certain dogma that prevails with dating and relationship content. I really feel for and relate to Todd’s childhood and first long term relationship and the aftermath. I am looking forward to implementing some these lessons in my own life. Thank you

Refreshingly honest
I have read countless therapy books, as a therapist myself. But what sets this book apart is the genuine vulnerability of its author. There are many talented clinicians who have offered powerful books about mental health, but very few have been brave enough to bring their own ups and downs into the conversation. In every chapter, Todd ties in the history of his family and his most significant romantic relationship, warts and all. As a reader, it gave me a sense of being less alone. His unashamed confessions modeled what I hope we can all learn to do with our life stories, telling them proudly as a testament to the vivid and colorful human condition. His perspective on the meaning of life and pain felt so true, and felt all the more strengthened by his radical honesty.
