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.
這本書我還沒看完但已想給6星PS作者是個30多歲進入婚姻殿堂的人 這本並非一個浪子的膚淺價值觀 是嚴肅的社會研究 運用大量訪談 @功夫大碗小熊貓 我好想把這本翻成中文 免費都行 如何能進入你們圈子so推廣它在中國..
評分太好看啦!這書的research method部分要是放序言的話肯定讀者會更多一些。講世界範圍內living alone的趨勢和不同,講solo的男女老少富人窮人,講solo生活的人相關的人的生活。特彆有趣,彆被intro部分嚇跑喲。不過不太理解這為什麼是學校Sociology 101的必讀書目。缺陷作者說得也很明白,就是沒講在suburban的人的生活之類的。而且真的對我這樣的在考慮going solo的讀者有很高的參考價值。
評分對我來說有很多值得思考的點①關於我想長期保持單身的想法,更加堅定瞭,就是對職業對未來有著太大的抱負以緻settling down would stop me,而且我喜歡獨處,以及整一個a place of my own的概念 ②我想堅持,但是老無所依實在是太可怕瞭,尤其在中國獨生子女的現實可能逼得我們不得不低頭。除非找到解決的方案否則必須繁衍後代媽蛋 ③YOU+的模式原來是來源於這,說明國內going solo的趨勢也要起瞭呀。
評分每天早上在地鐵上翻幾頁可能早上看很睏 並不會覺得有趣 像是調查報告 觀點看不到啥 數據+采訪的堆積 隻有偶爾specific某個人的獨居故事會被戳到一丟丟兒
評分3.5星 人類在麵對未知的時候,總是比較脆弱的,獨身也好,其他的也罷。我的第100本英語原版書。
替朋友圈的各位读了这本going solo (恩我妈后来选了《肥肉》看)不全然是以为中的文本 除了耽于个人主义的益处考虑婚姻成本欣然享受独立和独处的主动选择者们还定义了更广泛的边缘人士 全书保持知乎水准 导言做了第一件事 是罗举单身状态的普遍以及涨势????(似乎“多数派”...
評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...
評分 評分有一段时间,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...
