Ghosted, Gaslit & Glowing Up: A Survival Guide to Modern Love by Albert Hayes - Paperback - Modern Dating Self-Help Book

Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9789370039162 Publisher: Rupa Publications Overview Modern dating has a language all its own — ghosting, gaslighting, breadcrumbing, love-bombing — and keeping up can feel like a full-time job. Ghosted, Gaslit & Glowing Up is a witty, straight-talking survival guide for anyone navigating today's confusing dating landscape. Written with humour and real empathy, it helps readers spot red flags early, protect their self-worth, and move from heartbreak to genuinely glowing up, one honest chapter at a time. About the Book Dating in the age of dating apps, group chats and mixed signals has never been trickier, and Ghosted, Gaslit & Glowing Up meets that reality head-on. Rather than vague platitudes, Albert Hayes breaks modern romance down into situations readers actually face: the sudden disappearing act, the confusing mixed messages, the slow erosion of confidence that comes with gaslighting, and the awkward business of rebuilding afterwards. Each chapter tackles a different stage of the dating rollercoaster, blending relatable anecdotes with sharp, practical advice that never feels preachy. The tone is conversational and often funny, but the message underneath is serious: readers deserve relationships that add to their life, not ones that chip away at their peace. Along the way, the book unpacks the psychology behind common red flags, explains why certain patterns repeat, and offers concrete tools for setting boundaries, trusting instincts, and recognising self-worth outside of a relationship's validation. It's less a rulebook and more a companion for the messy, occasionally hilarious process of modern love — reassuring readers that a confusing text thread or a ghosting incident doesn't define their worth. By the final pages, the focus shifts firmly from surviving bad dates to thriving: setting higher standards, communicating clearly, and stepping confidently into whatever comes next.
