And finally, this book is for anyone who has never been single. Ever. You’ve always been in a relationship, maybe since high school, jumping from one lily pad to another and repeating the same dysfunctional patterns over and over. The only thing changing is the faces. Your friends all say, You need to be alone, and you reply, I don’t know how! They think you’re full of shit, but the truth is, you’re afraid. You’re uncomfortable with yourself. It’s so much easier to hide in someone else. But hiding in a relationship or another person shrinks your ability to expand and explore your potential as a human being. You know this.

One of the sections of the book that spoke to me is the discussion about the need to love and understand your body. I struggle with this, but it’s so important.

PDF / EPUB File Name: Single_On_Purpose_Redefine_Everything_Find_Yourself_First_-_John_Kim.pdf, Single_On_Purpose_Redefine_Everything_Find_Yourself_First_-_John_Kim.epub This book is also for anyone who is currently in a relationship but the dynamic has changed. You’ve drifted. Grown apart. The in love has turned to in lost, and neither of you know yourself anymore. There’s lots of finger-pointing, sex is scheduled or doesn’t happen at all, and you’ve both lost touch with the individuals you were when you came together. You might have complaints about your partner but are coming to realize that it’s not really about them. It’s not about changing anyone or fixing the relationship. You have no more energy for that. It’s about starting with you. My Review - This book came in right when It was needed most in my life. Not because of any relationship issues but because I felt a loss of connection with myself. Let me tell you at the utmost that this book is not about singlehood or specifically for people not in a relationship with another human. This book is about bonding with oneself. No matter the reader is single or in a relationship or anything. The book talks about how important it is for oneself to have a real connection with themselves before having anything with someone else. No matter the status of the relationship, one must know, understand and prioritize their own relationship with their inner self than any other. That's how one can rejoice in every other bond. And that's what made me attracted to this book. I too agree with the thing about our relationship with self-being the most prioritised relation than any other in our life. A few chapters did feel bonkers and the reader is the one to either adapt or trash them. The quotes, the life experiences of the author and his patients is what gave this book a real-life catalogue of stories that can be related here and their by us. This thing made the book much more unique and relatable by me and probably to you too if you choose to read so. May it be a hard break up or lonely singlehood or happily ever after a relationship or joyfully singlehood, I recommend this book to all those feeling a bit lost and trying to find themselves in the hush and bush of everything. After my divorce, I asked myself what I needed. I went to the bench a lot. I ate out at diners. I leased a roadster convertible and revved the shit out of it through the canyons blasting obnoxious music and wearing no shirt. And didn’t care. I took myself to the movies. Went on long walks. Pour myself into my passions. Started writing again. I needed to treat myself well. Better. I needed to do things for myself and not feel guilty about them. I also pushed my body harder than I ever have before. I needed to feel alive. I needed to like who I was. I like John Kim and this book for it's honesty. It makes you reflect on your actions, thoughts and desires. It helps you identify what fuels them and most importantly, how to rewrite them.I really wanted to like this book. It's a workbook made to be written in so I definitely recommend not getting the ebook. Single doesn’t mean you’re weak. Single doesn’t mean you’re defective. Single doesn’t mean you’re incomplete. Single doesn’t mean you can’t build an amazing life. It’s okay to be single. On purpose.
