From NYU Wagner:
At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated?

Listened to this via audiobook, which I highly recommend.
The book itself was okay. It presents some interesting studies and never takes itself too seriously. But I feel that if you're a single person looking for dating advice this might make you feel overwhelmed and not give you too much guidance. The main takeaway is “we have too many choices” and “put more effort into dating”. But I feel like it's too general.
I DO recommend this for anyone in committed relationships who want a glimpse at what single life is like today. It'll make you glad you don't have to deal with this anymore.
