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.
Eric Klinenberg is a professor of sociology at New York University and the editor of the journal Public Culture. His first book, Heat Wave, won several scholarly and literary prizes and was declared a "Favorite Book" by the Chicago Tribune. His research has been heralded in The New Yorker and on CNN and NPR, and his stories have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, and on This American Life.
对习惯读小说的我来说这本书简直是一种折磨……生词太多且偏书面语(?),直到看完也没有出现我以为的那个理由,也许太小众,也许是国情不同。
评分Don't moan about inevitable solitude. It's okay to live the way I want to live. No need to feel guilty and incomplete as I don't have a life partner/companion to share space with. Sweden is such a utopia!!!

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...
评分『一個人生活,已成為時尚』,這本書的主軸就是這段話了。 近幾年,討論『一個人的生活』的書愈來愈多,光是我讀過的,諸如~【敗犬的遠吠】、【一個人的老後】、【一個人的經濟】、【一個人的朝聖】、【一個人的旅行】、【寂寞,於是人生有更多可能】,還有這本【獨居時代】。...
评分 评分忘了是看新闻的时候哪里一句话提到了这本书,宣扬着单身时代的到来。因为我本人正处于这样一个阶段,自然有兴趣看看。 当然本书并不完全适合作为个人的生活指导,这本书是一本研究论文,而且仅限于美国。开头写了一堆各种历史理论哲学,中间一部分调查故事稍微有趣,涉及的话题...
