Better Single Than Sorry: A No-Regrets Guide to Loving Yourself and Never Settling

By Jen Schefft

Book Overview

Advice, insight, and inspiration for relishing the single life We live in a country that places an unhealthy emphasis on relationships, yet nearly 50 percent of all American women are single. But does being alone mean you have to be lonely and miserable? Absolutely not. Nobody knows that better than Jen Schefft, who got engaged to a rich and handsome man on TV's The Bachelor , only to break it off after six months--and who later stunned and infuriated viewers nationwide when she turned down the proposals of both finalists on The Bachelorette the following year. But even though she was reviled in the tabloid press and on the Internet, Jen believes it would be a far worse fate to commit to a relationship that was wrong for her. Better Single Than Sorry is an indispensable guide to thriving as a solo in a couples-obsessed culture. In this warm, compassionate, down-to-earth, and empowering book, Jen Schefft has a positive message to impart to millions of sensational single women: Love yourself . . . and never settle for anything less than everything you deserve.

Great book for the single woman in her twenties

It seems like all the books I read about being single, are for middle age women or for single moms. It was nice to finaloly read a book that I could relate to, being in my twenties. Very cute and funny.

Wonderful Book

Good advice from a sharp lady

This woman has been there and seems to have her head on straight. She has decided what is right for her and does not yield to pressure from any quarter. She appears to be a mature, self-confident, uncompromising woman with a good attitude that all of us should emulate.

LOVED IT

I bought this book after being invited to Jen's book launch in NYC through a contact of mine. (Met her too...sweet girl!) Anyhow, this really is a must-read for any 30-something single female. As Jen says, we really do live in a relationship obsessed society and it is important to be happy with yourself rather than be with the wrong person so that you are not alone and accepted into society. I found this book to be really...
