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.

Pleasantly surprised

This past year, I’ve started (and exchanged) more books on forgiveness, inner strength, things we can’t change, and self improvement than I ever imagined I would. I didn’t think this one would be any different from the many I’ve exchanged/returned. I was pleasantly surprised.

This book spoke to many of my experiences, especially as a child of immigrants who had particular expectations of their children. I’m so glad I gave this book a chance. I believe it’s one that I’ll come back to listen to at least once. I may even buy a copy of the text so I can reread the most relevant parts.

The author used language in a manner that was familiar and comfortable to me as a listener, as compared to a couple books on self compassion (which would be great reads, but sounded terrible when narrated).

You'll want to tell everyone about this book.

I sent a copy to 5 of my friends within the first few chapters. You will want to share John's epiphanies, stories and inspirations with everyone you care about. Looking forward to personal growth, and hopefully be able to see the same in my friends.

Exactly what I needed

This book is for anyone feeling lost. I just got out of a relationship and have been “going through it”. It has provided me with a guide and tools of what comes next. It validated how I felt but also gave me a lot of insight. This is a book everyone should read. I’ll be listening to it again and again.

I felt this

I started this audiobook in the gym after seeing it posted by an army buddy of mine. The first 15 - 20 minutes had me in my feelings. Exactly the person I am just hearing it from someone else. I have recommended this to any of my friends going through obstacles in their love life. This book has helped me figure me out.

Exactly What I Needed To Hear

Extremely well written and I liked how John was talking how actually I think. Not a clinical narration sounding audio book. I felt a connection. I could relate. John does a great job of keeping attention and talking like a real person. This is exactly what I needed to hear to gain back more sanity through my new 'single-self' journey. The 5 hours went fast. So worth it. Thanks John!

Great Advice: a lot of personal details

I guess a lot of his stories credibility came from just his experiences with them. Overall though, towards the end it featured fantastic advice
