Joyfully Single: A Revolutionary Guide to Enlightenment, Wholeness, and Change - Hardcover

"Finding yourself is not really how it works... Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's pains, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. Finding yourself is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering of who you were before the world got its hands on you." -Emily McDowell

Joyfully Single: A Revolutionary Guide to Enlightenment, Wholeness, and Change invites us to embark on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, wellness, growth, and the brave pursuit of joy. In this groundbreaking book, Pamela Larde PhD draws from a decade of her research to encourage a radical departure from traditional views of singlehood. She proposes an alternative: Revolutionary Joy, a powerful blend of enlightenment, wholeness, and change that transforms our experience of being single.

Steeped in evidence-based research and personal reflections, this book is written from a coaching perspective, providing opportunities for deep introspection, goal-setting, and personal evolution. Joyfully Single illuminates the richness that comes with being single, pushing past negative societal narratives that equate fulfillment and success solely with partnership.

Larde dives into how to cultivate self-love, establish enriching connections, and pursue our dreams, all while cherishing the unique freedom that accompanies singlehood. With Revolutionary Joy as our compass, she encourages us to redefine our narratives and discover the limitless possibilities that await when we dare to journey off the beaten path.

Whether newly single, independent for decades, or unsingle but questioning societal norms, this book serves as a testament to the strength of human connection, the power of joy resilience, and the exhilarating freedom of defining our own experience of singlehood.

Joyfully Single is not about merely surviving singlehood-it is a joyous manifesto advocating for an inspired, purpose-filled life. When focused on the joy, we can discover that optimal living while single is not about waiting for a life partner; it is about partnering with life itself.
