In Going Solo, Klinenberg explores the dramatic rise of solo living - the most
significant demographic shift since the Baby Boom - and examines the seismic
impact it’s having on our culture, business, and politics. Though conventional
wisdom tells us that living by oneself leads to loneliness and isolation, Klinenberg
shows that most solo dwellers are deeply engaged in social and civic life. In fact,
compared with their married counterparts, they are more likely to eat out and
exercise, go to art and music classes, attend public events and lectures, and volunteer.
