Welcome to Litsy!

Maybe I should actually post a review when I have my own success story? Anyway, I think this book is good for late bloomers like myself as well as seasoned daters for a fresh perspective. Good advice from meeting people/making dating profiles to moving in/deciding to marry or not, and also on how to break up. Ultimately it provides good advice on finding what is right for you and setting boundaries. Realised I‘ve always been a Hesitater!

I didn‘t find any life changing advice in this book, but I can see how it would be helpful for people without good relationships as models. A large part of it is about changing your own self sabotaging actions as well as considering more people as potential partners. The middle section includes some thoughtful strategies to try while actually dating new people, but much of it was just common sense.

Finished this up on audio today. I got the rec from a fellow Litten and they‘d mentioned it was on Spotify. I upgraded to premium recently and figured I‘d give it a listen. I thought it was good and she gave me a lot to think about. I‘d tried the online dating thing years ago and basically have given up since then. Now I am considering giving it another go in the new year using some of her tips

Good for what it is: a glib take on dating with supporting studies and anecdotes. Not everyone has had good relationship modeling so a book like this that breaks it down is helpful. The first part borders on obnoxious, or at least the target audience falls into that group of selfish rich young prey people. But the second section redeems the book and gives helpful info. The final section was okay. I do like that it forces you to rethink things.

First review?! What an honor!! This book is a REVELATION. Logan Ury has changed my outlook on myself, on dating, and on what it takes to find a life partner. For anyone who feels stuck with the modern dating scene, I can‘t recommend this enough! Concrete tools and action steps backed by behavioral science. AND the Spotify audiobook is a delight - read by the author!
P.S. - Spotify premium, monthly 15 hrs of free audiobooks now!? Game changer!
