About the Book

The leading dating and confidence coach and New York Times bestselling author shares his wisdom and audience-tested advice on finding love through deep confidence, clear boundaries, and a love for life that leaves you fulfilled both within a relationship and before you've found one.

In Love Life, relationship coach and expert Matthew Hussey explores the most important and foundational relationship of all—the one we have with ourselves.

More than a book about navigating our love lives, Hussey's new book is about the deeper issues our love lives reveal. Love isn't the answer to our problems, Hussey explains. It's a doorway to them; not a way out, but a way in. Like most of us, Hussey has gone through major changes over the past decade, and he shares some of those experiences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes.

What happens when we date, fall in love, or when we are faced with loneliness? What decisions do we make that cause us more pain and send us further adrift from what we want? Who hasn't shied away from taking risks because they feared rejection? Who hasn't put up with the wrong behavior because they're afraid of losing someone or of expressing what they really need? Who hasn't lived with the fear and anxiety of not being good enough for their partner? Or knowing their partner isn't good for them, but stay in a bad relationship that is ultimately self-harming? In Love Life Hussey addresses these questions and more.

Our love lives hold the uncanny power to elevate or eradicate all the adjacent joy in our lives. The deeper purpose of Love Life is to ensure your love for your life will never be dependent on your relationship status. It's about finding your love for life even while still on the journey to finding your person.
