Publisher's summary

A funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, 'Why has everyone found love except me?' You're not the only one. Great relationships don't just appear in our lives—they're the culmination of a series of decisions, including who to date, how to end it with the wrong person and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Drawing from years of research, behavioural scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn't lead to results. You have to actually change your behaviour. Ury shows you how.

This book focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioural science, original research, and real-life stories. You'll learn:

• What's holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern)
• What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn't)
• How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you)
• How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love)
• How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews)
• Why 'the spark' is a myth (but you'll find love anyway)

This data-driven, step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build and keep the relationship of your dreams.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"A definitive guide for a generation navigating the murky waters of modern love." (Esther Perel)

Useful but short

Since the author covers different stages of relationships, each stage seems quite short. Good ideas and insight all around though.

Garbage

Great book for feminist, I stopped listening when she said these days people have infinite options to choose from and when she mentioned those cancer online dating apps. Everything else is pretty much the same trash that’s written in other self help guru books, she actually mentions those books. Great marketing but her numbers does not add up, if what she is suggesting to people was truth there would not be skyrocketing divorce rates, as I said before, a great book for a feminist that lives in her bubble.

Brilliant

There are not enough books written on this subject, loved this book, beautifully written and narrated by Logan Ury :)

I absolutely love this book!

I first heard of Logan through her work with the dating app hinge on social media. I was really excited to get her book in audiobook format because she has an excellent way of delivering her advice and a really nice voice. This book is really lighthearted but also really enlightening. I’ve recommended it to all of my single friends.

Everyone who reads this will take something away.

A great kusten, interactive and challenges you in a way that allows individual growth and can strengthen your relationships.

phenomenal

this is an outstanding book, i have learnt so much about myself and how to search for the relationships that i desire.
not only about looking for partner but being the person to receive such a relationship
my favorite quote from the book is "great relationships are created not discovered"

Fresh and inspiring work on relationships ❤

A very positive, down to earth, realistic, deep, inspiring and funny handbook on relationships that you should have read earlier in life. Very systematic and full of gems 💎 of advises, real life stories, ideas💡 and relationships hacks. I already miss the kind and enthusiastic voice of the author as she takes you through all stages from dating, to getting serious for life, and everything in between.
I highly recommend it, it was an educational pleasure.

Very insightful and practical

Loved this book! Very insightful, full with practical advice and guidance, well structured. I learned a lot about myself and relationships in general

Super interesting

Informative book about relationships, very interesting and easy to listen to! It changed my view on relationships and dating.

Required reading on dating and relationships

I downloaded this book following the recommendation from Ali Abdaal. It was truly a transformative listening experience.

I had been dating on and off for the past 2 or so years, not really finding anyone that I felt were a good fit for me. I then had a break from dating to focus on myself and recompose but I was tired of being single and wanted to make a change - and also do it right. Ury's advice to reflect on my own reasons for waiting or holding off on dating made me realise that what I was doing was counterproductive, I needed to allow myself to be happy and find someone who makes me so.

The advice on dating techniques was very useful with some good ideas, and the advice on surveying potential partners for a long-term relationship was a big wake-up call on how I had been going about before.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to get better at dating and find someone to make you smile.

clever
