Author Description

This is a book for single men, where "single" means not married or in a serious long-term relationship (LTR). I have lived single most of my life and in a committed way for the past 15 years. I am trying to pass on some of what I have learned, some of what has helped me live a contented single life. I am a retired psychologist. Please don't take what I say as professional advice. I am just sharing my experience and perspective, along with what I've learned from many others. I am a single man writing to other single men about the virtues and challenges of the single life. As such, some of what I say is bound to offend some women. More thick-skinned women may benefit from the book, since most of what I say isn't gender-specific. However, fair warning - if you are a woman who gets offended when men make critical generalizations about how many women behave towards men in relationships, you had better give this book a pass. The book is divided into three parts. In the first, I talk about the many benefits of the single life. In the second, I try to help you sort out whether the single life is right for you. And in the third, I pass on some psychological concepts and principles that have helped me to live a better, more contented single life. I have tried to write in an easy, conversational style. I have also tried to keep things concise, because I don't want to waste your time. I also intend to price the book cheaply, because my aim isn't to make money. I enjoy writing. I just want to get these ideas out there, in the hope that someone might find them useful.
