Summary
Happy Singlehood charts a way forward for singles to live life on their terms, and shows how everyone - single or coupled - can benefit from accepting solo living.
Based on personal interviews, quantitative analysis, and extensive review of singles' writings and literature, author Elyakim Kislev uncovers groundbreaking insights on how unmarried people create satisfying lives in a world where social structures and policies are still designed to favor marriage.
In this carefully crafted book, Kislev investigates how singles nurture social networks, create innovative communities, and effectively deal with discrimination. Happy Singlehood challenges listeners to rethink how single people organize social and familial ties in new ways, and illuminates how educators, policymakers, and urban planners should cater to their needs.

Critic reviews
"A breath of fresh air . . . Kislev brilliantly shows us that singles can be very happy in the modern world and that public policy must adapt.” (Jocelyn Crowley, author of Gray Divorce)

highly recommended
this is a well researched and thorough exploration of the growth in single lifestyles. it looks at discrimination against single people and how to deal with it. it shows how well single people prepare for aging and the strength of their social networks. in many ways single people outdo their coupled counterparts on measures of happiness, social contacts and community involvment. the rise in the proportion of people who are single has policy and commercial implications for the future, for instance co housing. lots of good ideas and very encouraging research. I wish I had had this book years ago.

If you are not single, you will want to be by the end of this book
Paints an extremely positive picture of single hood in the modern world - interesting but repetitive in parts . If you are single it may help you to counteract societal pressures and see your single ness in a v positive light
