From the provocative and hilarious EGOT winner, bestselling author, and host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg, comes the perfect antidote to all those outdated relationship advice books in the world, weighing in on why marriage isn't for everybody, and how the life you want shouldn't be the life everyone else expects you to have. Whoopi Goldberg has been an electrifying, envelope-pushing public figure of many stripes: acclaimed actor, comedienne, singer, songwriter, author, political activist and talk show host. Now, Whoopi will speak openly about why marriage isn't for everyone, how being alone can be satisfying, and how what's most important is understanding who you are and what makes you happy. Wise, funny, and conversation-starting, Whoopi's message is sure to resonate with the millions of people who struggle with relationships every day. Goldberg says: "I get to hear from a lot of different people about relationships and this got me trying to figure out why the divorce rate is SO high. It occurred to me that as one who has done it badly often, I might have some insight. It's hard to really know the other person's agenda, but if someone says 'you complete me'...RUN!!!"

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The advice is so refreshing and seems to be based on Goldberg’s desire to be completely honest with wide-eyed lovers who don’t know a thing about marriage and are being fed the same bulls**t advice over and over again—only for nearly half of them to fail at the endeavor.” Root magazine
“In this no-nonsense guide to personal fulfillment…she denounces the false expectations engendered by popular music, films, fairy tales, and even Viagra commercials that depict an unachievable romantic ideal…Goldberg’s views on sex in and outside of relationships, particularly for older people, are progressive, sensitive, and spot on. In between chapters, a running column called ‘Ask Whoopi’ deals with specific relationship queries posed to the author over social media…This is a funny, conversational, and occasionally profane take on modern romance from a legendary humorist.” Publishers Weekly
“Goldberg…suggests ideas on interpersonal bonds that she wishes someone had suggested to her years ago…Her manner is frank and mostly funny, and Goldberg rarely holds back…Goldberg’s writing will appeal to women the most, but her counsel is geared toward both genders, all races, and all sexual orientations…The author is honest and usually spot on.” Kirkus Reviews
“As narrator, there’s no better voice than Goldberg’s to deliver this material—her raspy timbre, energetic pace, and jovial, bemused tone are all her own. At times, it sounds like she’s ad libbing or providing commentary beyond the actual text, and she regularly laughs out loud throughout her narration. These qualities give the listener the sense of having a personal interaction with the sharp-eyed advice maven. What’s more, her personal anecdotes will have listeners in stitches.” AudioFile
