HOW TO NOT DIE ALONE

Ury Logan

The Surprising Science of Finding Love

Behavioral scientist Logan Ury's funny and practical guide to understanding - and overcoming - the hidden forces keeping you from finding lasting love.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, "Why has everyone found love except me?" You're not the only one. Choosing a partner is harder now than ever before. A lasting relationship doesn't just appear in your life - it's the culmination of a series of decisions, including when to get out there, whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, when to settle down with the right one, and everything in between. Often we don't understand why we make certain choices, and that leads to mistakes. And those mistakes thwart us on our quest to find love.

Drawing from years studying psychology and relationships, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the faulty decision-making that prevent us from finding love. But awareness on its own doesn't lead to results. Knowing you shouldn't date "bad boys" or "manic pixie dream girls," for example, doesn't make them any less appealing - you have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how.

This book focuses on a different decision in each chapter - from setting up your dating app profile onward - and incorporates insights from behavioral science, original research, hands-on exercises, and stories about people just like you. It's designed to transform your love life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury is an internationally recognized expert on modern love. As the Director of Relationship Science at the dating app Hinge, Logan leads a research team dedicated to helping people find love. After studying psychology at Harvard, she ran Google's behavioral science team - The Irrational Lab - and created the popular interview series "Talks at Google: Modern Romance." She is also a TED Resident. Logan lives in San Francisco with her husband Scott and a gaggle of succulents. She credits her relationship success to the techniques outlined in How Not to Die Alone.
