About this ebook
'A definitive guide for a generation navigating the murky waters of modern love' Esther Perel
'A "must read" for hopeless and hopeful romantics alike' Daniel Gilbert
A 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 who 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 book 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, 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.

At first reading the book was just for the intension of magically finding a partner. But I definitely learnt a lot about my self and potentially others... thanks to the scientific backings & research of this book. The contents isn't just applicable for romantic relationships, it's also incredibly useful for day to day relationships with your colleagues, family, friends etc... if you truly absorb the advice

I'm writing this review half way through this because I don't want to forget how I feel about it. My brother bought this for me and kept pestering me to read it. I'm glad he was persistent. This book is absolutely brilliant, so interesting! I've hated dating apps for the last couple of years and this explored the topic in-depth. Once I finish reading a book, it's rare that I'll read it again. I'm really glad I've read this because I will want to read it again when I'm in a relationship. I think everyone should read this because it's relevant for both single people and those in relationships.
