Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-07 00:00:00 Andrew Pulliam This book was a game-changer for me. Why? It's been a few years since my last long relationship, and while I've dated some, I was starting to suspect that I might actually be happier when I'm alone. I have, however, had lingering doubts from time to time that such a thing could even be possible. Surely I should keep getting out there and trying to meet someone. And if I didn't want to, something must be wrong with me, right? Am I selfish, immature, or scared of commitment? Well, no. This book confirmed a lot of things for me, namely that there's nothing wrong with you if you'd rather be alone than coupled. Author Bella DePaulo also puts other doubts to rest by scientifically and statistically dismantling the misinformation and stereotypes that people often have about single people. Not only that, DePaulo makes it clear that singles can and do have fulfilling lives that are every bit as valid as those of married people, and she does so with humor, intelligence, and a touch of sarcasm. I especially enjoyed the chapter on why married people are even concerned about whether other people are single. Some of the information there blew me away and gave me a deeper understanding of people who make disparaging remarks about single and/or childless people. Will I ever be in a relationship again? I can't say. But for as long as I'm single, I'll be feeling confident, comfortable, and content about it--because being single, as Bella DePaulo argues, is pretty great.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-05 00:00:00 E D I stumbled upon this book last week on Facebook. Someone had posted a New York Times article covering National Singles and Unmarried Week. Bella DePaulo, Ph.D. Harvard, was mentioned along with her newest book Singlism: what it is, why it matters and how to stop it. (The latter is on my wishlist. It's an anthology by 26+ contributors on the topic.) At any rate, DePaulo is the first author I've read to really face the topic head-on as a social scientist with an objective, critical eye. The book examines myths about marriage and happiness as well as why so many singles are indeed content with their lives. DePaulo brings forth studies concerning material discrimination against singles (divorced, widowed and never-married) which I found quite fascinating. She urges the reader to diversify one's life, to seek comfort in work, relationships, and community. She comes out a winner in demanding that the government stay out of marriage, allowing financial perks such as Social Security benefits to be shared by all caretakers or significant others (sexual or not) as do many industrial nations. I look forward to reading her anthology and urge others to read her work, share her findings with others and above all demand a cessation in being "singled out." Doing so does NOT imply that one is anti-marriage or anti-couples, but it does underscore that all people are created equal. A lovely read! Includes index, notes and bibliography.
