About this title

Synopsis

Happy Singlehood charts a way forward for singles to live life on their own terms, and shows how everyone - single or coupled - can benefit from accepting solo living.

Based on personal interviews, quantitative analysis, and extensive review of singles' writings and literature, Kislev uncovers groundbreaking insights on how unmarried people create satisfying lives in a world where social structures and policies are still designed to favor marriage. Happy Singlehood challenges readers to rethink how single people organize social and familial ties in new ways, and illuminates how educators, policymakers, and urban planners should cater to their needs.

The book has been translated into seven languages and was featured in The Washington Post, The Guardian, HuffPost, Cosmopolitan, The Times, Vice, Metro, Globe and Mail, Elle, Vanity Fair, New York Daily News, and on CNN, BBC World News, BBC One, BBC Radio, Bloomberg, and many more.
