Love Me!: One woman’s search for a different happy ever after

"Read by the author. Can you be happy without a partnership at the centre of your life? Society still sets the gold standard for successful living as a marriage and kids. As Marianne Power turns forty, she wonders why this is still so elusive for her and whether, in fact, this is what she even wants, or just what she feels like she should want. At first, she tries to lean into the alternatives - self-love, self-marriage, sisterhood - but is she avoiding confronting her fears about commitment, relationships and sex? Determined to find out for sure, Marianne sets off on a journey to answer the question: can you have a life full of love without marriage and kids? From tantra to Skype sex, from polyamory to sologamy, Marianne's quest takes her to some hilarious, scary and moving places - and she discovers that maybe, in these chaotic times, loving thy neighbour is more important than romantic ideals. Honest, intimate and inspiring, Love Me! is about the freedom to envision the life you want, and finding the courage to choose it."

[Italian] - Maledetta felicità

"'36 anni, sorridente e solare, un ottimo lavoro come giornalista freelance, una famiglia e pochi, buoni, amici che le vogliono bene. Ecco, questa è Marianne Power. Peccato che lei non si veda così e che abbia un debole per i superalcolici, Netflix e i libri self-help. Una domenica al risveglio da un'allegra sbornia del sabato sera, Marianne si guarda intorno: la camera è in disordine, ci sono abiti e bicchieri ovunque, è andata a letto vestita e non si è nemmeno struccata. Single da anni, sempre in lotta con la bilancia e con i suoi capelli, vive in affitto in un seminterrato e ha il conto perennemente in rosso; che disastro... Com'è possibile che tutti quei libri self-help che ha lì sullo scaffale, letti e riletti e sottolineati, non abbiano avuto alcun effetto sulla sua vita? E che cosa succederebbe se mettesse davvero in pratica quello che dicono? E quindi ecco la soluzione: 12 libri self-help e un anno di tempo per cancellare qualsiasi problema e diventare Perfetta. La storia vera di una donna che ha deciso di sfidare l'universo self-help per scoprire se esiste davvero una ricetta per la felicità. Emozionante, ironico, profondo e tremendamente divertente. Forza Marianne, facciamo il tifo per te! © 2019 Giunti Editore S.p.A. © Marianne Power 2018'"
