📚 Books that completely changed how I approach dating

Nicole Wright · September 15, 2025

After my last breakup I went on a self-help binge and these books genuinely changed my life: 1. "Attached" by Amir Levine — understanding attachment styles 2. "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brené Brown — vulnerability and worthiness 3. "Why Does He Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft — recognizing manipulation 4. "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by Nedra Tawwab — saying no without guilt 5. "All About Love" by bell hooks — redefining what love means Drop your recommendations below! Always looking for more.

I went through this at 31 and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. But 2 years later I'm happier than ever.

Can we normalize having high standards?? This isn't being picky, it's having self-respect.

SAME. I'm so tired of being the only one putting in effort.

Unpopular opinion but sometimes the ick IS your intuition telling you something. Don't ignore it completely.
