It comes complete with a dollop of comedy and a splash of sophisticated sarcasm. The Joy of Single is soul candy. The empowering words and dazzling illustrations dance off the pages and into the spirit of the reader. The advice is relatable and simple. It is unmistakably relevant. It speaks of internal passion for self -- something we could all cultivate a little more of.

Introduction. It was not until a seven-year marriage ended, a two-and-a-half-year relationship fizzled, and a smattering of various suitors came and went that I came to realize the true meaning of joy. Happiness, I concluded, decidedly comes from within. I know, you’ve heard that one before. But what does within actually mean, and why are so many single ladies ill at ease, overall unhappy, or consistently on the prowl for a new relationship? The Joy of Single aims to alleviate this unwarranted anxiety! True happiness from within is the realization that out of all of the potentials swimming in the societal sea, the one person that you ought to be fishing for is none other than yourself.
