Why do I think I am nothing without a man? Book

I think every woman should read this book. I at first picked it up because I feel like anomaly as a single 30 something year old woman. I have these moments of absolute contentment, to then be faced by other people's opinions and society's expectation, that at my age, I should be married. This sometimes makes me feel like my career (which I've worked towards for years!), hobbies, and friendships are meaningless because I'm not yet married. Something just doesn't sit well with me about this...This book pulled me in initially because it showed how women, both married and single, can allow their lives to fully revolve around men. Dr. Russianoff shares stories of married women who didn't even know their interests and passions because they were so attached to their husbands. This possibility (among many other examples she offers) terrifies me! Some women even shared how they wanted to die first because they couldn't imagine being alone. Her remedy to living a life that revolves around a man was to become undependent. Undependence refers to the state of being content and feeling complete regardless of one's relationship status. Undependence is achieved through enjoying time alone (which does not equate to loneliness), making the most of friendships with males and females, and going after your dreams (rather than putting them on hold because of a man). If you can relate to any of what I shared OR if the title alone is enough to pull you in, please please read this!
