'I nodded along in recognition, grateful to read about other people like me. This is an important book' The Times
'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 single living. But is finding a romantic partner really a requirement for a full life? World-leading expert on singleness Dr Bella DePaulo argues that a healthy, happy life is possible not in spite of being single - but because of it.
DePaulo 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. With advice on topics including solitude, freedom, intimacy, children and societal pressure, Single at Heart addresses misconceptions about single life and gives you the tools and self-knowledge to stand up for what is right for you.
