Posts Tagged ‘Self-help’

n265624It’s the most annoying questions and they just can’t help asking you. It’s the questions that has no good answer It’s the question that when people stop asking it, makes you feel even worse: Why are you single?

While walking through my favorite bookstore, this book cover caught my attention. The title was a bit – self help-ish, and I really didn’t want to read another self help book that basically tells me that I need to learn to love myself.

Well, it turns out that How to Be Single, is not a self help book and the author, Liz Tuccillo, is not a fan of learning how to love her self. Liz Tuccillo is famous for co-authoring He’s Just Not that into You. Tuccillo was a writer on the hit show that we singles love to live by, Sex and the City.

I picked up this fiction and decided to take a chance and see what it was all about! Loved it! 4 out of 5! Julie Jenson quits her job as a publicist and dances around the world finding out what it’s like to be single all over the world! Jenson falls in love during her trip and has her heart broken and in the end finds the one thing she has always wanted.

I would have to say that my favorite single women – were the French! They, don’t go on dates here.” According to the book, the French have a sort of pride they are born with. It’s like our southern mothers who teach us that you have to marry to be complete! The French mothers teach a completely different thing – pride. That’s not to say that we don’t have pride or they don’t ever want t marry – it’s just different. I would like to learn a bit more about this difference! I wish I had stocks that I could cash in so I could travel the world writing all the time. I would need to be a bit of a better writer, but I can dream! 

“‘How to Be Single?’ Like they need to be good at it because they’re going to be single for that long? That’s depressing. Nobody wants to be single.”
