This week, Lisa and Misty cover Love Is Not Enough by Mark Manson. Here is a bit about the author in his own words, right from this audible original: "My name is Mark Manson. I’m the New York Times bestselling author of THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A FUCK and EVERYTHING IS FUCKED: A BOOK ABOUT HOPE. Most people don’t know this about me, but before Subtle Art took off and I became a huge, fancy author, I primarily gave relationship advice. 12 years ago, I started a blog. It was a blog about my own dating life. I didn’t expect anyone other than my guy friends to read it. I just wanted a place where I could write out some of my own confused experiences and figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. To my surprise, other young men started following along and reaching out to me. As it turned out, they had similar issues and insecurities as I did. They asked questions, and being a good little blogger, I went in search for answers. Those answers brought more readers and more questions, which brought more answers, and more readers, and so on. Fast forward seven years and I was making a full-time living writing relationship advice to millions of readers across the world. It was like I was the millennial Dear Abby who happened to say 'fuck' a lot.” Well, there you have it folks.  We cover every chapter in this Love Is Not Enough book review: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Pain Boundaries Power Struggles Choosing Reality Over Fantasy Vulnerability The Courage to Be Loved Simple but Difficult If you like what you're hearing, you can grab the book here or check out the author's website here.  And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Go Help Yourself!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
