How To Live Happily Single, with Dr. Eric Klinenberg

from Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us Hosted by Amy Alkon

Amy Alkon's HumanLab -- The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science. On tonight's show, noted sociologist Dr. Eric Klinenberg discusses why remaining unmarried and living alone have increasing appeal and what the problems of living solo tend to be -- and how we might solve them. We'll touch both on living solo as a younger person (whether romantically single or "living apart together" with a partner), and how we can live alone as we age. Dr. Klineberg's book is Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone. Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday from 7-8 pm Pacific and 10-11 pm Eastern, here at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher. And please support the show by buying my science-based book, Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence. (St. Martin's Griffin, 2018.) "Unf*ckology" was serialized in the Feb. 2018 Psychology Today. It's one of Quillette's 10 book picks for 2018 along with Steven Pinker's. And it's an ELLE 2018 book pick: "Practical and hilarious."
