An essential guide to recognizing negative relationship patterns, embracing healthy love and attachments, and how to co-create a corrective new love experience, from bestselling author and therapist John Kim.

What are the markers of a healthy relationship? How do you know if you are in love? When are you ready to choose the love that both holds you close and sets you free?

Trusted therapist and podcast host John Kim addresses these tough questions and more with his signature blend of no-nonsense guidance and candid personal reflection. John helps us understand when to stay and when to leave, to recognize love as a form of medicine for the soul, and to discover the purpose of love is not just companionship but a loving transformation of the self. Love Hard On Purpose is an invitation to let go of toxic programming and discover genuine connection that lasts, grounded in the science of attachment.

Welcome to a new relationship paradigm. Take a breath, open your eyes, and begin to love with, and on, purpose.

"Raw, honest, and deeply illuminating, this book reminds us that love isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we consciously build, heal through, and become. Essential reading for anyone ready to experience connection as true transformation."
—Dr. Nicole LePera, #1 New York Times bestselling author
