A revelatory examination of the most significant demographic shift since the Baby Boom—the sharp increase in the number of people who live alone—that offers surprising insights on the benefits of this epochal change

In 1950, only 22 percent of American adults were single. Today, more than 50 percent of American adults are single, and 31 million—roughly one out of every seven adults—live alone. People who live alone make up 28 percent of all U.S. households, which makes them more common than any other domestic unit, including the nuclear family. In GOING SOLO, renowned sociologist and author Eric Klinenberg proves that these numbers are more than just a passing trend. They are, in fact, evidence of the biggest demographic shift since the Baby Boom: we are learning to go solo, and crafting new ways of living in the process.

Klinenberg explores the dramatic rise of solo living, and examines the seismic impact it’s having on our culture, business, and politics. Though conventional wisdom tells us that living by oneself leads to loneliness and isolation, Klinenberg shows that most solo dwellers are deeply engaged in social and civic life. In fact, compared with their married counterparts, they are more likely to eat out and exercise, go to art and music classes, attend public events and lectures, and volunteer. There’s even evidence that people who live alone enjoy better mental health than unmarried people who live with others and have more environmentally sustainable lifestyles than families, since they favor urban apartments over large suburban homes. Drawing on over three hundred in-depth interviews with men and women of all ages and every class, Klinenberg reaches a startling conclusion: in a world of ubiquitous media and hyperconnectivity, this way of life can help us discover ourselves and appreciate the pleasure of good company.

With eye-opening statistics, original data, and vivid portraits of people who go solo, Klinenberg upends conventional wisdom to deliver the definitive take on how the rise of living alone is transforming the American experience. GOING SOLO is a powerful and necessary assessment of an unprecedented social change.

有一段时间,我持续关注“在中国一辈子单身,可能活得很好吗?”的话题,并阅读了所有回答。因为这从长远看来,所有人都要面对这个问题(即使步入婚姻,也很可能因离异或丧偶,小孩出国等落得孤身一人)。 此书算是比较完整探讨了独居人群这一生活方式的方方面面,包括独居人群...

恋爱总比婚姻更令人愉快,恰似小说总比历史更令人愉快。 很多人认为“若婚姻质量下降,就没必要结婚”,这个观点看似挺合理,但仔细想想,其实是一个无解的题。持有这个观点的女性居多,因为中国社会普遍共识是男性负责家庭开支大头,结婚后势必要更多倾斜于家庭,“生活质量降...

用宿命的这个词,最近留意到日本人的表达方式和语气,之前有看到日本网友声援韩国人对中华料理的轻视,感叹了一句“中华料理应该是接近最强得了吧”,确实是很可爱的一种表达方式。 刚好最近这段时间在思考婚姻这个问题,准确来说即便结婚这么长时间了有些事情还没有来得及想...
