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.
中间采访的一些故事有点拖沓,理论还不够硬。值得赞赏的是,作者认为独身和独居已经是大城市的社会现象,而不是当做一个问题来研究。如果说独身是问题,那么结婚(或者说催婚和逼婚)也是问题。最后一章用瑞典的高独身率说明,单身状况的维持,需要国家政策的配合,比如对哺乳期女性的帮助等等。
评分当社交媒体和当代生活方式解决了一部分孤独问题,而群居又无法解决另一部分孤独问题,越来越多的人就开始独居。独居反而是勇敢面对生活,积极对抗孤独的表现。但是,个人觉得独居也是极其奢侈的,像我国这种魔幻的社会环境 还是算了吧 呵呵。
评分有一次老妈很正式地提起说假如某一天她面临独居而与我不同城,或甚至不同国该怎么办。她说她希望独住,有自己的生活和社交圈,要是都在南方可以我们中的一个搬到同城但不同住,但她仍希望住在上海。然后我默默地想起了一个好多年的朋友,小学时,她站在自家阳台上指着前面几排房子中的一栋轻描淡写地说,对啊爷爷奶奶就住在那边。

▲摆脱单身则摆脱了孤独? 时常听到人说害怕一个人呆着,会觉得不知所措,哪怕与一个关系一般到只比陌生人强一点的人去看一场不知所终的电影,或者去人多嘈杂的餐厅吃一顿味精压倒味蕾的徒有其表的晚饭,或者在购物中心消磨掉一整个下午,也总比一个人呆着强太多。这样的人即...
评分 评分对于大多数人来说,无论结婚与否,都会面临独居的状况。与其说独居是一种选择,不如说是一种能力,具备这种能力,能帮你有效应对生命中随时可能出现的各种变故,同时,学会独处,也是一种自我修炼。任何人都应该尽早培养独居的能力。 同婚姻生活一样,没有一劳永逸的生活方式,...
评分现代社会的生活节奏在不断地加快,很多以前人们从未面对甚至从未想过的问题层出不穷地在人们生活中的各个角落里冒出来。它们很难被忽视,大多数也很难被解决,比如城市化带来的工作可能性增多和人们生活速度的加快,比如文化多元化和单一国家全球化地迅速发展,随之而来的是个...
评分文/夏丽柠 豆友原醉说:“我有时候挺怀念单身生活的,抠着脚丫子,吃着盒饭,喝着啤酒上着网,吃完饭拿盒饭空盒当烟灰缸,点起大前门,猛吸一口,爽!”一位已婚男士对单身生活的念想大抵如此。无独有偶,《单身社会》里的离异律师路易也说过一段类似的话,看来单身无国界。那...
