The book discusses the reasons why people struggle to find love and offers advice on how to raise one's standards, find a compatible partner, and achieve happiness in a relationship. It aims to address the bigger obstacles to finding love, such as internal blockages, trauma, and going for what is familiar rather than what is truly fulfilling.

I wrote this book, it's called Love Life. I suppose I wrote it partly because I hadn't written a book in over 10 years. The last book I wrote was about 11 years ago and it was a very different book.
But this book really addressed some of the bigger reasons why we might struggle to do that. Why all the advice in the world that relates to dating can fail us when there are just fundamental obstacles getting in our way, in either the way that our life is structured, in the mindset we bring to it, in the, frankly, the trauma we bring to the table when we go out there and date, the internal blockages, the continuing to go for what is familiar instead of what's actually going to make us happier.
And so this book attempts to address those while also addressing the reality that life doesn't always go the way that we had hoped and it often doesn't.
And people find themselves single at a time in their lives they never assumed they would be single, never dreamt they would still have not found the kind of person or love that they'd been looking for, or come out of a second marriage at 65 and are going, oh my god, what happened? How am I finding myself alone right now?
And for the people that had never been married and had never found that and are finding that they've spent their whole lives with a kind of chronic pain of loneliness, anxiety, sadness or depression around not having a fulfilling love life.
