Singled Out (the book)

My book, Singled Out: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After, was published in hardcover by St. Martin’s Press in November 2006. The paperback version appeared in 2007. A Taiwanese edition is in production.

In Singled Out, social psychologist and professor Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., exposes a widespread cultural bias against unmarried adults, as seen in everything from missed perks and deeper social and financial prejudices.

DePaulo clearly and compellingly debunks the myths of singledom, using scientific research, examples drawn from popular culture, and healthy amounts of humor. Immensely readable, Singled Out is also carefully and fairly argued. Singled Out is a spirited and provocative read for all people curious as to why singlism is practiced and how it has gone unrecognized and unchallenged for so long.
