Going Solo Summary

Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone by Eric Klinenberg

In 1950, only 22% of adults were single. Today, more than 50% of adults are.

Drawing on over three hundred in-depth interviews with men and women of all ages and every class, Eric Klinenberg reaches some startling conclusions about the seismic impact solo living is having on our culture, business and politics.
