What if being alone isn’t something to fix - but something to embrace?
We've been sold the story that happiness requires a partner. That being single is a waiting room, a problem to solve, a gap to fill. But what if the most transformative relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself? Drawing from over fifteen years of clinical experience, as well as her own journey through heartbreak and healing, Dr Marny Lishman reveals why solitude isn't something to fear, but is instead a powerful catalyst for growth, creativity and genuine contentment.
​
Whether you’re healing from heartbreak, navigating divorce, or simply tired of waiting for ‘the one’, Only You shows you how to embrace being alone and create a life filled with deeply personal joy. Through evidence-based psychology, real-world stories and practical exercises, you’ll discover how to stop waiting for someone or something else — and embrace growth, meaning and true fulfilment. Only You is your companion for building confidence, clarity and contentment on your own. Stop putting your life on hold, and discover the unexpected gifts that emerge when you learn to truly enjoy your own company.
