About this listen

An essential set of tools and principles for healing your heart, finding love, and loving life.

Finding love can be hard. Being single can feel even harder. In Love Life, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author Matthew Hussey provides a practical roadmap for letting go of past relationships, overcoming the fear of getting left behind, and finding the love we want.

Sometimes it feels like life and love are working against us. Just finding someone we like can be a struggle. Even when we do, we often find they’re not ready, or they want different things. Then there’s the internal fears and anxieties that lead us to self-sabotage—the ones that make us indulge the wrong behavior, hold back from expressing our needs for fear of losing someone, or overinvest in people and lose ourselves in the process. Love Life sheds light on these common patterns and how to overcome them, by showing us how to adopt new standards, elegantly communicate them, and develop the deepest levels of confidence that underpin them. Like many of us, Hussey has gone through major life changes over the past decade, and he opens up about his experiences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes.

Love Life is about doing love better. More than a book about romantic relationships, Love Life shows us how to take control of each of the major relationships in our lives: our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with life itself.

Our love lives have the power to elevate or eradicate the adjacent joy in our lives. Love Life sets you on the path to finding the love of your life, while deepening your love for life.

Uplifting, real and motivating

One of the best books I’ve listened to, and going to listen to it again. It was perfect that Matthew narrated it. It expands on much I’ve listened to and learnt, evolving thinking and opening my mind to others and empathy. Especially impactful is how Matthew shares and shows how much of what we do and think is all up to us, we can make the changes we want and he inspires in such a positive, and empowering way. I have loved learning from Matthew and his podcasts and am so grateful for his work in helping people in their lives and love through that and this amazing new book. Thank you Matthew I would definitely recommend this book!!

Matthew took a bizarre concoction of ingredients and created a book to nourish the mind, heart and soul.

My compliments to the chef.

I would definitively recommend Love Life and will indulge in a second helping.

Mathew’s model of self love

All the relationship advice was good as always but the last chapter of his book about self love was a new, relatable and encouraging way to look at self love. If you can’t read the whole book then I suggest reading the last chapter at least for everyone

A gift, to your heart, that you never knew it needed.

This is unlike any self development book you'll ever read.

Something permanent happens to us after we experience having our heart broken for the first time. In some way it's like we explode internally. It's a kind of unique disaster that forces us to ask Why to a lot of questions we hadn't given much thought about before.

I discovered Matthew Hussey on YouTube, years ago, while I was trying outrun my heartache by figuring out how to dive into, yet another, unhealthy relationship to someone I was besotted with.

It's only now that I've realised, more than two years later, after finishing this book for the second time, just how much of my behaviour was being fuelled by my need to avoid any and all uncomfortable feelings. And how, through all those 'Why's, my perspective on love, has completely changed.

For anyone who had to grow up faster than they felt ready for, at whatever stage of life you happen to be in right now, I highly recommend this book. It's like receiving a gift from yourself that you never knew you needed.

Learning how to love well is a lifelong journey, Matthew has a way of explaining the abstract when it comes to how we relate to love and makes it relatable; which makes it feels less like a novel and more like you're having a conversation.
His unique vulnerability and passion hits a chord that's hard to describe until you're experiencing it for yourself.

You'll laugh, cry and have an endless number of extremely satisfying lightbulb moments. But more than anything, you'll discover a completely new part of yourself, and that particular adventure will be worth more to you than you could ever have imagined.

Refreshing, restorative and real.

I’m only a couple of chapters in and already feeling bolstered and heartily encouraged. So grateful for Matthew’s thoughts and words - and the heart he puts in! I am coming out of a hard couple of years (hopefully!) and looking to fall back in love with my life, so here goes!
