Author of "SINGLE AT HEART: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life." Always have been single, always will be. I write the "Living Single" blog for Psych Today. Bylines in NY Times, Wash Post, Atlantic, etc. TEDx talk, 1.7 million views.
Oh wow, they get the most fundamental fact wrong! Pew 2022: 72%, not 27% like being single. The article should have gone in an entirely different direction. #SingleAtHeart

It's not just families who are going hungry. I was about to donate to the SB Food Bank when I saw this ad. Why are single people living alone missing from expressions of concern? Does anyone care about them or just families?

Let’s recognize the STRENGTHS of single people & stop writing those embarrassing “you poor thing” stories. I’m so happy this article has been cited so often. It is in an academic journal, but it is easy (and maybe even fun) to read.
Links to the article and #SingleAtHeart book are in 2/ and 3/

Why I wrote “Single at Heart” -- from a reader:
“I’ve just read single at heart. I cried reading the introduction as I felt finally seen and now want all my friends to read it so they have a better understanding of me!”
