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.
More like a journalist work. 最後一章淺嘗輒止的說到北歐的福利政策與單身社會,倒是可以跟風險社會的理論相聯係

評分最直觀的感覺是在當下的中國,老百姓們還沒分享到資本主義經濟發展所帶來的切身好處,就要開始獨自麵對與之共生的一係列社會問題瞭。
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...
評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,...

評分▲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...
