Publisher's summary

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.

Just what I needed at this point in my life!! So amazing and on point!

I am 40 and just now learning who I am, especially considering I became a wife and mom at 20! I have now read and listened to this book and will continue to do so when I need to bring myself back to center! Thank you so much for your advise!

The third in the series, waiting for the 4th.

The books just keep getting better with each cover. I will listen to all three of your books multiple times. I'm so glad the playlist is actually listed somewhere because I probably could not write all of them down fast enough. thank you for that! Come to Massachusetts.

Well written. Inspiring. Good read.

I listen to almost all JK podcasts. The podcast and this book compliment each other very well. Love the consistency and continueinity of the narrative across the mediums. Thank you Mr. Kim!

Best Book I ever Finished

I started this book and hung on every word. It’s like he was in my head. After my husband left me for another woman, I realized he’s been trying to leave me for a year. I cried for the first 5 min as he described me in every way, and described me for my whole life. Then, he moved on, and gave me the path, and showed me what I’m supposed to have. He put vision in my head and made it real, with an easy plan, and made me
Believe I could be single and be ok. He didn’t take away the hope, just taught me that it’s ok to be alone for a while. This is the most helpful self reflection book I’ve read. Even listened to it in my headphones at work until it was done, and felt empowered by dinner time.

Amazing book

So relatable. I felt like he was speaking from my point of view. Very inspirational.

Everyone needs to hear this!

I love how John Kim addresses the taboos and subjects many people are afraid of facing or even admitting to themselves. He really puts into perspective the importance of having a healthy relationship with ourself in order to have healthy relationships with others.

This book is for everyone, not only the singles.

What an amazing, insightful read

A true gem! Loved it so much, will be re listening to it again soon :) Highly recommend!

Single “not anymore”

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to grow and know that I am still a great human being and I am not alone in feeling or emotions. I have learned a lot about myself and my thoughts that it’s okay to think but to not let it control my actions. It has been a good revelation.

Great book

Great perspective!!
I love his take on things. I may not agree with everything he says, but love his approach. Gave me a lot to think about. Thank you.

I related SO MUCH!

100% recommend!
So insightful, with actual how to’s instead of how don’t! The Positive reinforcement 💯
