Sometimes, it almost seems as if the older you get, the pressure for you to be in a relationship (and find someone to settle down) becomes really intense; as someone who makes it a point to never let others determine how I live my life, I've never understood the amount of criticism that books about being single and happy have gotten. When I was younger, I used to feel self conscious about the fact that everyone around me seemed to be getting together while I was alone. After realizing that there was nothing wrong with riding solo, I learned to not worry about my status and instead decided to focus on ways to improve my quality of life (and I haven't turned back since). That being said, these books about being single and happy will show you why you should always celebrate your "singledom".

It's Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You're Single
/filters:quality(70)/content/gd/cw/fufjy_text_font_wrong_reasons_you_367x500.jpg)
On Amazon at: amazon.com
Reading so many books about being single and happy has really changed my perspective on everyone's two favorite questions to ask: “Are you dating anyone? Why are you still single?” One of the greatest aspects of Sara Eckel's love letter to the single life is the fact that she stresses that there is nothing wrong with waiting for the right person (or not wanting to date at all) and then proceeds to back up her point with stellar research.
Sara Eckel's book "It's Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You're Single" is a much needed addition to the conversation on single life and happiness. It is a refreshingly honest and humorous look at the single life and why it is ok to be single.
The book is divided into 27 chapters, each of which examines a different wrong reason that people are single. Eckel's research is thorough and she backs up her points with facts and statistics. She also provides helpful advice on how to be happy and fulfilled while single.
The book also addresses the stigma that is often attached to being single. Eckel argues that being single is not a problem that needs to be fixed and that it is ok to wait for the right person or to not want to date at all. She also encourages readers to take control of their lives and to create their own happiness.

I love that Sasha Cagen is able to argue about why people need to start taking their own wants and needs into consideration. After all, there is a reason why the adage "You can't love someone until you love yourself first" transcends generations and resonates with so many people.
Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics is a book written by Sasha Cagen that explores the idea of self-love and how it can be used to create a fulfilling life. The book is divided into four sections: “The Quirkyalone Revolution,” “The Quirkyalone Manifesto,” “The Quirkyalone Mindset,” and “The Quirkyalone Lifestyle.” Through each section, Cagen provides readers with an understanding of the importance of self-love and how it can be used to live a life of joy and fulfillment.

Lastly, this is a must read for all women. Mandy Hale just scratches the surface of why self love is so important. With so much stress and expectations on their shoulders, it's no surprise that many people forget that their happiness shouldn't revolve around anyone but themselves.
The overall message behind these books is that you should never settle for less than you deserve. Instead of worrying about what everyone else thinks, it's time that you thought about your own happiness. What are some other books that you've read that celebrate being single and fabulous?
