Publisher's summary

A “must-read” (The Washington Post) funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives - they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how.

This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn:

• What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern)
• What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t)
• How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you)
• How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love)
• How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews)
• Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway)

This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Some good tips, irritating at times

The narration and stories were great. some evidence-based service, but also a lot of opinions, including irritating off-topic leftist commentary that felt forced and unnecessary to me. I think this book would be even more off-putting to some people more right of center, who I guess are not her target audience.

Live intentionally!!

So many realistic examples of what holds us back from co-creating the relationships we want - even the subconscious obstacles. Amazing read (listen).

Great read!

Logan is on to something! I am intentional about my career, and I learned I can be intentional about love. There’s a science behind everything. Great job, Logan! Cheers to you & Scott and cheers to intentionally ever after.

Super helpful

This book combines new and old relationship advice that I haven’t heard before and actually reflects what it’s like to date through dating apps. I felt HEARD AND SEEN for once! Im recommending this to all my friends. Thanks for writing this book Logan!

Dating Intentionally!

This book has given a great change in perspective to dating and relationships. Well written and easy to listen to!

Fantastic advice for singles and daters

Listened to in pieces, over a variety of relationship stages. And now am going to listen to it all over again!
Lots of food for thought on the seemingly unique and guidepostless terrain of love and relationships

Very eye opening

I thought this book was very enlightening and eye opening. It really made me think about the date offers I receive and especially the 2nd date. Very good book!!!!

Logical, helpful, thought provoking

Logan was very methodical in her approach to help people think about what they want and how to go about dating, and relationships, in a more intentional way. I wish I would’ve listened to this book 3 years ago and ended my bad relationship then.

A must read for daters!

Logan Ury nails the cause of my singleness, ME! I am so grateful for this realistic view of how to approach dating with a compassionate and proactive way to find love. It worked! Now I have attracted quality men and am taking my time to get to know them and evolve my own bad habits. Thank you Logan and F$&@K the Spark!

Life changing.

Logan provides simple yet profound insights into our thought patterns, behavioral pitfalls, blind spots, and the unnecessary/unhelpful things we tend to prioritize. Applicable for people who are single, dating, in a relationship, married, or coming out of a relationship—there is something in here for you. Fairly inclusive of different identities, as a cis queer woman I didn’t feel excluded. If you only read one relationship book give yourself the gift of it being this one.
