À propos de cet audio

Having a secret single freak-out? Feeling the red, heart-shaped urgency intensify as the years roll on by? Oh hi! You're in the right place.

Over half of Brits aged 25-44 are now single. It's become the norm to remain solo until much later in life, given the average marriage ages of 35 (women) and 38 (men). Many of us are choosing never to marry at all.

But society, films, song lyrics and our parents are adamant that a happy ending has to be couple-shaped. That we're incomplete without an 'other half'*, like a bisected panto pony. Cue: single sorrow. Dating like it's a job. Spending half our lives waiting for somebody-we-fancy to text us back. Feeling haunted by the terms 'spinster' or 'confirmed bachelor'.

Catherine Gray took a whole year off dating to find single satisfaction. She lifted the lid on the reasons behind the global single revolution, explored the bizarre ways cultures single-shame, detached from 'all the good ones are gone!' panic and debunked the myth that married people are much happier.

Let's start the reverse brainwash, in order to locate - and luxuriate in - single happiness. Are you in?

*Spoiler: you're already whole.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This refreshing, unusual book needs to exist. A culture shift which repositions a single person as someone who is relationship-free, complete, and not lacking is long overdue." (The i )

"Absolutely f--king brilliant." (Florence Given)

I loved this book from beginning to end. I related to so many way of thinking the author mentioned and it made me realize a lot of toxic patterns I had. I’m definitely going to read it again. It was really easy to listen & dynamic. 10/10 would recommend to every single woman!!

Eyes opening book

I am used to being in relationships (I haven’t been single for more than 3 months since 15… I’m 42!!!) and this book has set me up on the right path to be happily and consciously single by choice! It’s empowering and magnificent
Will probably listen to it again!

Amazing book!

Catherine’s writing was there when I went sober and here she is again when I am dealing with a divorce. Cath, one day I want to read a book about something not as heavy as these subjects because your writing is so good.
Well written, funny and touching. Like the advice from a good friend who knows.

Such a good book
