"Bella DePaulo isn't just a powerhouse, she's a lighthouse ... We need more luminaries like her" - Catherine Gray, author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Single
All too often society issues dire warnings about the risks of living single. But is finding a spouse or romantic partner really a requirement for a full life? In Single at Heart, leading expert on single life Dr Bella DePaulo argues that a powerful, healthy, happy life is possible not in spite of being single - but because of it.
Speaking on behalf of the millions of people across the globe who are powerfully drawn to single life, Dr Bella shares what being single at heart means and all that it has to offer. With advice on topics such as solitude, freedom, intimacy, children and societal pressure, Single at Heart addresses misconceptions about single life head on, and gives you the tools and self-knowledge to feel confident in your choices.
In this richly engaging, evidence-based book, Dr Bella supports readers of all genders, ages, and backgrounds. She draws on her research expertise as well as her own experience as a single woman to demonstrate how choosing to be single can provide confidence, strength and deep fulfilment. Insightful and empowering, Single at Heart encourages us to stand up for what is right for us, and learn to thrive because of it.
