Why Some People Flourish as Singles
Briefly

Here at 'Living Single,' in 2010, I coined the term 'single at heart' and asked, ' Are you single at heart?' Now, 13 years later, on December 5, my book on the topic will be published. Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life is based on the life stories of people who are single at heart that have been shared with me over the years, as well as data from more than 20,000 people from more than 100 nations who answered an online survey. It is also grounded in social science research from other labs around the world.
The single at heart are happy because they are single, not despite being single. They are not organizing their lives around a romantic partner. For the single at heart, the risk is not what they would miss if they do not put a romantic partner at the center of their lives, but what they will miss if they do. They would miss the power, the freedom, and the heart-filling joy of single life. They would miss out on getting to live authentically, to be who they really are.
