About this listen

Happy Singlehood charts a way forward for singles to live life on their terms, and shows how everyone - single or coupled - can benefit from accepting solo living. 

Based on personal interviews, quantitative analysis, and extensive review of singles' writings and literature, author Elyakim Kislev uncovers groundbreaking insights on how unmarried people create satisfying lives in a world where social structures and policies are still designed to favor marriage. 

In this carefully crafted book, Kislev investigates how singles nurture social networks, create innovative communities, and effectively deal with discrimination. Happy Singlehood challenges listeners to rethink how single people organize social and familial ties in new ways, and illuminates how educators, policymakers, and urban planners should cater to their needs.

What the critics say

"A breath of fresh air . . . Kislev brilliantly shows us that singles can be very happy in the modern world and that public policy must adapt.” (Jocelyn Crowley, author of Gray Divorce)

A very good book with great insights, lots of research work and studies. It will not only analyse the rise of living single, but also the reasons, how to deal with it, what is best for you, examples of people who lived happily whether single or with a partner. He didn't even forget about AI. Just a great book and the narrator is awesome too!
Thanks alot
