"Wickedly funny. Leslie Talbot's observations on the single life will have you laughing out loud while nodding in recognition." -- Chuck Leddy

Synopsis
Full of wise, witty, and sardonic observations and declarations based the beloved blog, www.SingularExistence.com, "Singular Existence" is the definitive single person's rebuttal to the popular notion that a relationship is the only means to happiness., A fierce, funny read that redraws the fine line between alone and lonely. One part memoir, one part self-help, with a dash of shrewd social commentary and a liberal dose of snark, Singular Existence is the surefire cure-all for your single-girl blues. Creator of the popular website singularexistence.com, author Leslie Talbot deftly--and hilariously--eviscerates the media fads, self-help quackery, and bogus social science that plague the unmarried, offering you a refreshing perspective on the state of singledom. Shallow, Self-Centered, and Opinionated Seeks Opposite (an undercover investigation into the tangled web of online dating) The Rules of Disengagement (a coward's guide to breakup etiquette) Warning--Contents May Settle (the dire consequences of marital desperation) He's Just a Big Fat A**hole (the real reason he's "just not that into" you) Manifesto Destiny (a Declaration of Independence for the proudly unmarried) Smart, scathing, and singularly entertaining, Singular Existence proves once and for all that relationships are not the only path to happiness. "Wonderful, fluid, intelligent, engaging stories." --Mediajunkie.com "Wickedly funny. Leslie Talbot's observations on the single life will have you laughing out loud while nodding in recognition." --Chuck Leddy, book reviewer The San Francisco Chronicle, The Writer, and The Boston Globe, Full of wise, witty and sardonic observations from the beloved blog SingularExistence.com - the definitive single person's rebuttal to the popular notion that a relationship is the only means to happiness. Drawing on personal experience, Leslie Talbot uses her own contrarian perspective to eviscerate the media fads, self-help quackery, chick lit formulae and bogus social science that plague the unpaired. Redefining the difference between alone and lonely, Talbot will appeal to smart women everywhere., Full of wise, witty and sardonic observations and declarations based the beloved blog, www.SingularExistence.com, Singular Existence is the definitive single person's rebuttal to the popular notion that a relationship is the only means to happiness. Drawing on personal experience, Leslie Talbot uses her own contrarian perspective to eviscerate the media fads, self-help quackery, chick lit formula, and bogus social science that plague the unpaired. From debunking the anti-single self-help myth to deconstructing the online dating game, Singular Existence redefines the difference between "alone" and "lonely," and will appeal to smart women everywhere because: - While other books on being single tend to condescend to the reader, Singular Existence is hilarious, scathing and smart. - Singular Existence asserts that long-term relationships are only one of the many paths to happiness. - Singular Existence represents the smart side of the women's self-help spectrum--the essays are not only entertaining, they are intelligent and well written.

    Nothing wrong with the item itself, it's just as described. Appeared in very good condition, well packaged quality item, looked great & at a very good price. I made a mistake in ordering, though, & the seller immediately refunded the purchase price. I recommend this seller as having been dependable, gracious & more than fair, A++++
