Social scientist Dr. Bella DePaulo is considered the leading expert on single life. She is the author of Singled Out and How We Live Now, among other titles. Her latest book Single at Heart is a comprehensive, unapologetic case for single life.

In a world that favours couples, Bella shares the many benefits of singledom that go unrecognised. She claims the single-at-heart are flourishing because they are single, not in spite of being single.
