    About this audiobook

    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 = 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 readers 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.

    John Kim

    John Kim LMFT (The Angry Therapist) pioneered the online life coaching movement seven years ago, after going through a divorce which led to his total re-birth. He quickly built a devoted following of fans who loved the frank and authentic insights that he freely shared on social media. He pulled the curtain back and showed himself by practicing transparency and sharing his story something therapists are taught not to do. Kim became known as an unconventional therapist who worked out of the box by seeing clients at coffee shops, on hikes, in a CrossFit box. He built a coaching team of his own and launched a sister company called JRNI, creating a new way to help people help people and change the way we change. He lives in Los Angeles.

      My Secret Sex Diary

      Apr 25, 2021

      I don’t know about you, but Covid-19 has really messed up my sex drive. I’ve always thought of myself as a very open-minded, sexual sort of person. I’ve had a few longish relationships (a year here, two years there), but if I’m honest I actually pref

      Crass. More for men than woman. Doesn’t take into account someone’s values around Sex, Marriage, love, etc.

      It had a few great golden nuggets but dragged along slowly. Some of the advice was pretty shoddy. In some points he sounded like he was in no place to be giving advice. I still took 3 good points from it but I wouldn’t recommend it.

      Ah-mazing! This book got me crying way more times than I expected. I have been in my single-hood journey for more than a year now and although in the beginning it only seemed to confirm what I believed on, he gave a really cool and more interesting perspectives to the areas single-hood can be explored from. Loved it!

      This book was fun, honest and entertaining. The content is very good and high quality. It can be appealing to many audiences. I sent it to my ex husband and he loved it too. I highly recommend it. It helped me know what I did right, what I'm doing right and what I can improve.

      Absolutely Amazing! I love John Kim and his insights. Recently divorced after a 15 year toxic relationship and back to my own self exploration and healing journey. This book is a must for anyone looking to help aid in their own healing process.

      Good book, except for the curse words and glamorizing drug use and casual sex. Author emphasized learning to love yourself before jumping into the next relationship.

      I couldn't 100% relate because I've been single for 13 years as of writing this review and he talked a lot about sex.
    • 5/5
      I loved everything about this book! I felt like it was one of my good friends shooting the breeze with me but dropping some profound insights. In one section of the book, I felt myself disagreeing…however as I continued to listen and thought about my own life and experiences, I realized John was spot on. All singles should read this!
    • 5/5
      Great listen..,, thank you kim for helping me learn i need to take a break between it
    • 4/5
      finally someone talked about finding yourself before loving someone. I've also learned a lot about relationships of men with their bodies but other than that I coolant relate too much. loved the honest manner of speaking and how hr keeps telling the reader : what works for you doesn't work for me
    • 5/5
      Written in a modern voice. No mincing words. It’s a message many of us NEED to hear and follow.

      Pretty good book overall with some interesting thoughts and perspectives. However, I feel like it's also helpful to reference the e-book for some of the advice.
