Single On Purpose: Redefine Everything. Find Yourself First.

This book felt like a conversation with someone who truly understands self-growth and independence. John Kim writes with honesty there’s no sugarcoating, just real talk about learning to love yourself, rediscover your identity, and enjoy being alone. I appreciated how it mixed humor with depth, making heavy topics feel approachable. Some sections hit me harder than expected, especially about self-worth and rebuilding confidence. It’s not just for people going through breakups it’s for anyone learning how to be okay on their own and build a life that feels whole.

After a recent break up, I was looking to fill my time with a new hobby of reading. When choosing a book, I chose "self-help" to help me manage my emotions and behaviors moving forward. I couldn't have chosen a better book. The authors diagram of his own personal life events and experiences were SO relatable. His breakdown of coping methods geared to each type of struggle was easy to understand and really fueled my motivation to get things done for myself. Not only to take care of myself better in future relationships, but in general. The way the book was written was so easy to read and understand that I couldn't put it down and finished the whole thing in way less time than I anticipated. I'm definitely going to look into his other work. Excellent book.

Best post break up book I have ever read. Real, down to earth, honest, thought provoking and funny

This book was recommended by someone on Instagram and I couldn't put it down. Really spoke to me during a time of difficulty in my life, and I believe will help me move forward in a positive way.

This was a very interesting, straight forward resourceful book. It gave any reader insight how to better themselves from anything that could be holding them back from being the best version of yourself. This book allowed me to look within and do self-evaluation. It also allowed me to look for areas that I could improve and do better toward the old baggage I was yet dealing from past relationships. The therapist was very knowledgeable toward the information that was given. I could appreciate him giving his own life experience, so one could feel he could relate to others who may choose to read this material. One negative thing that I did not like about the book, is that he used profanity throughout the book. I felt he gave great illustration and viewpoints, and the profanity was just an expression that did not add to the reading, only was in the way of anyone who took this book seriously and wanted help in becoming whole and different after reading this. This statement is not to down the writer, only to say that it wasn't needed and could be easily left out in my opinion. Thanks for providing great material. I would definitely purchase another book by this author in the future.

I'm in love with this book. Honestly it of course talks about being single but also about those going through divorce and those who are in a marriage but feeling like they are losing a sense of themselves. I know so many people who can relate. I would be reading something and be like that remains me of this person, and send a picture. I'm on chapter 2 to put this into perspective.

I just finished this one and it’s so awesome for ANYONE because it’s really all about finding yourself and not people-pleasing. Whether you are in a relationship or not, you need to find yourself and be true to yourself first 😝 There’s only one or two things I kind of disagreed with, but everything else was solid advice and it was an easy, and at times a poetic read. Very humanizing and relatable. It’s nice to know that I’m on track because I’m already doing practically everything he suggests doing to not lose yourself. Which is another huge deal for me. I am more myself now than I have been in many years. It’s a wonderful headspace to be in. Life is pretty awesome right now. (I do have my bad days too, but they are tolerable and I can manage them way better now with the tools I have.) Sometimes I got bored because I felt like I was being given a pep talk that I didn’t need, but I get it. It was good to have it reinforced anyway.

A lot of the experiences i can relate. Being half Asian and the cultural differences, but also being able to find my way can lead to struggle and disappointment in my life and my parents. I think this has carried me through my life and with my recent divorce has made me bitter, but I know it'll fade and eventually go away. So many learning lessons in this book. A lot of times you just have to go through the fire. I'm just going go find myself again before anyone else. Not gonna rescue anyone but myself. Learned a tough lesson in that one, but it's my time go learn, heal, and grow.

This book need to be read. There is so many things that I can relate as a single person. I learn trough my journey to love myself everyday. And I know that by doing so ,I m going to be a better version of myself. I think when I'm going to be on a slippery road, I m going to read it again. Well done M. John (Chucky) Kim. Glad that you find your partner Vanessa.

Brings a new perspective for single people. Gives practical ideas that we can all try. Nice stories easy to read and get the message. Thanks to the author for sharing!

no me gustó que llegara en malas CONDICIONES COMO ROTO

The last few chapters provide a great gist to be the read, I like the flow, in between it gets a little monotonous but the last few chapters are very succinct and u would buy what he says only after you read the full book. Nice and thanks

Benché è vero che, come sottolineato in altre recensioni, sembri di leggere il diario di una persona e della sua storia personale, i contenuti all'interno vanno digeriti e pensati nell'ottica della propria esperienza. Credo, come molti altri che l'hanno letto, che le prospettive di vita e il modo di pensare di molti di noi si possano rifare all'esperienza di Kim, che peraltro è un valido terapeuta. Forse il costo dell'edizione Kindle è un po' elevato considerato che è un digitale
