An essential set of tools and principles for healing your heart, finding love, and loving life.

Finding love can be hard. Being single can feel even harder. In Love Life, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author Matthew Hussey provides a practical roadmap for letting go of past relationships, overcoming the fear of getting left behind, and finding the love we want.

Sometimes it feels like life and love are working against us. Just finding someone we like can be a struggle. Even when we do, we often find they’re not ready, or they want different things. Then there are the internal fears and anxieties that lead us to self-sabotage—that make us indulge the wrong behavior in others, hold back from expressing our needs for fear of losing someone, or overinvest in people and lose ourselves in the process. Love Life sheds light on these common patterns and how to overcome them, by showing us how to adopt new standards, elegantly communicate them, and develop the deepest levels of confidence that underpin them. Like many of us, Hussey has gone through major life changes over the past decade, and he opens up about his experiences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes.

Love Life is about doing love better. More than a book about romantic relationships, Love Life shows us how to take control of each of the major relationships in our lives: our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with life itself.

Our love lives have the power to elevate or eradicate the adjacent joy in our lives. Love Life sets you on the path to finding the love of your life, while deepening your love for life.

Great book!

Even better than Matthew's Youtube videos. Highly recommended. I am really enjoying it. Buy one, do yourself a service.

Core confidence

Very great book, I bought it last night and less than 24 hours I am done. Very captivating, inspiring and eye opening. Had so many Aha moments!!

So much more than just a compilation of past talks!

Excellent! Very transparent about himself and lessons learned plus very helpful, usable information! Thanks for a great resource!

Amazing book!

The perspective of a person who crossed the line but found a way back is what made me follow Matthew’s work before I knew what kind of struggle he went through. This book is a distilled wisdom of his journey. And this wisdom is not just beautiful and inspiring, it is 100% actionable! I am grateful and filled with sense I can handle with grace what might or might not come.

This book shakes you up

Matthew Hussey relates his message in carefully chosen words - soft-spoken, kind - like a good friend. But in the core, his message picks you up, shakes you and teaches you to stop pleasing others more than yourself. It is a healthy and heartfelt lesson!

Life transforming through mindset change

I’ve never left a review after listening to over 1000 audiobooks, but I feel like I must since this book had such a huge impact on my mindset and vision for the future. I was already a fan of Matthew’s YouTube videos but this book took it to a whole new level. I’m so glad Matthew chose to narrate the book himself as he so sincerely tells of his own struggles with pain and his approaches to dealing with it. The last chapter in particular is so incredibly good that I am going to make my 3 young adult children listen to it. I wish I had these tools earlier because they are so valuable for living a happy and fulfilled life. What a great gift to be able to shift your mindset like this while still a young adult with your whole life ahead of you.

I am recently divorced and in my 50’s, and I have personally experienced almost all the negative thoughts he described. I have also listened to or read so many self-help books that I can’t even count and probably hundreds of hours of videos. I expected this book to just be more of the same. It was not. I remember the exact minute while listening to the last chapter that I felt like I had a complete and total epiphany. It’s hard to describe but my mind had been focused on the fact that my life was already half over and suddenly I was struck with the realization that I am excited about the possibilities for the second half. The other self-help books taught what to do and how you should feel but nothing has had the impact that this book had. For the first time I actually wholeheartedly believe in what could be. I even starting crying a little - but fortunately tears of joy:)

Thank you so much Matthew for everything you do. We all know that you have helped so many people with your work. Please know that you have profoundly impacted the life of one more person.

Game Changer for Staying in Your Power

Really enjoyed how he ties in different stories, example texts, and ways we can take action to getting a relationship that we want in our lives. The way he frames the idea of having hard conversations was a game changer

Standing Ovation

I read a lot and I’ve never wanted to give a book a standing ovation.
In Audible alone, this is my 91st book, and I pretty much bulldozed through it.

Matthew starts off the book hilariously… shedding light on all his skeletons in the closet (it almost seemed like a "let me just get this out of the way so I’m in total integrity" kinda feeling to me) and it was easy to relate with him, see his perspective, and appreciate his blunt honesty.

I’d honestly give this book a 13 out of 10… he really crushed it.

I feel like his advice is for everyone old enough to date, it’s super easy to understand and digest, and the stories are told in a way that even if you don’t relate with what the other person has been through, it’s like you can feel her and what she’s been through… and the stories are told in a way that makes them all lessons to learn from.

I don’t want to ramble, but I cried a LOT in this book… hearing the stories of pain, trauma, and self-worth… the saying about being kind because everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about, really rang so true…

Including with Matthew himself. I’m not sure if he said what the issue was, or I missed it (I’m going to listen to the book again for sure, it’s definitely worth listening to twice, I’d speed it up to like 1.4x though) but apparently he’s been dealing with physical pain for a long time…

I had no idea… so I wanted to say thank you Matthew for moving mountains and changing lives, even when you don’t feel like it.

I wish you all the best in the world, and I know you said you’ve developed almost a relationship with your pain… but that almost sounds like it could be one of the stories in your book, and I hope you find your solution to heal.

I know you said people make suggestions to you constantly about it… and I can’t help it, I hate to think of you in pain, so here’s mine: Go to a Dr. Joe Dispenza seminar or workshop. He teaches people how to (through meditation) literally rewire their brain… which rewires the body… and medical MIRACLES happen during the week with him. And he has tons of case studies from his events, monitored by his team, which now consists of people from the medical field who came in only with the intention of proving he was wrong, and ended up working with him because of the miracles they saw and see over and over.

Okay, much love, WONDERFUL BOOK…. You knocked it outta the park!! Thank you ❤︎

READ THIS. NOW. IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING!

I only wish I had been given this book when I started dating. The lessons in here are invaluable. I’ve already bought a copy for two friends. This isn’t your run of the mill self-help book. This is a radical new philosophy on how to take ownership of YOU and regain agency over your life—dating and otherwise. Matthew is clear, straight forward, practical, and honest about the things we do in our dating life that are undermining our strength in who we are. His tone is firm and his voice is kind, much like a loving friend helping you to avoid getting into your next situationship. He provides specific examples of text messages and conversations to have when you feel you aren’t being treated as you deserve. My most important takeaway from this book is that we often are overly swept up by the “connection” we have with someone—and actually that that’s not so hard to come by. That the effort we put into a relationship mistakenly correlates with the strength of our feelings and not the quality of how we are being treated. And it’s all the other things outside of the “connection” that determine the quality of the relationship. Matthew also redefines what self love means. That loving ourselves because of our good qualities is dangerous, because some days we aren’t nice or energetic or hard-working or whatever it is you value about yourself. I’ve often struggled with this question to no avail. But Matthew provides what seems now an obvious solution—love yourself as a parent loves a child. I cannot emphasize enough that you must read this book NOW. Don’t live your life another single day without living with the lessons Matthew provides.
