看完后,我不会再去苦催亲友们结婚了。 一开始以为这书读起来轻松,甚至可能是鸡汤,但实际上,上架在社科类,越读越严肃。开头引用了很多书和研究,看注释也收获很多。后面大多美欧的人物访谈,到“独自老去”章节,让人不由的着急起来。 简单从三个方面聊聊: 孤独 这...
评分恋爱总比婚姻更令人愉快,恰似小说总比历史更令人愉快。 很多人认为“若婚姻质量下降,就没必要结婚”,这个观点看似挺合理,但仔细想想,其实是一个无解的题。持有这个观点的女性居多,因为中国社会普遍共识是男性负责家庭开支大头,结婚后势必要更多倾斜于家庭,“生活质量降...
评分纽约大学社会学教授艾里克·克里南伯格新近的上市《单身社会》英文名是《Going solo: The extraordinary rise and surprising appeal of living alone》,有人将其译为《独居:一个日益兴起并广受欢迎的生活方式》,我个人觉得后者的翻译才更为贴切,虽然单身和独居有许多重叠...
评分收集了很多人的主张和意见,但每一章的主题很水,作者好像是很牛逼的人,但实际没有说什么,好像怕得罪什么似的,隐约想说又不敢说,最后东平西凑才熬出一锅白粥。 或者说人类社会无论何时,都是因为围绕共同生活而非独自生活的想法而建立的(无论资源紧缺或充裕)人类的确有社...
评分对于大多数人来说,无论结婚与否,都会面临独居的状况。与其说独居是一种选择,不如说是一种能力,具备这种能力,能帮你有效应对生命中随时可能出现的各种变故,同时,学会独处,也是一种自我修炼。任何人都应该尽早培养独居的能力。 同婚姻生活一样,没有一劳永逸的生活方式,...

A revelatory examination of the most significant demographic shift since the Baby Boom—the sharp increase in the number of people who live alone—that offers surprising insights on the benefits of this epochal change
In 1950, only 22 percent of American adults were single. Today, more than 50 percent of American adults are single, and 31 million—roughly one out of every seven adults—live alone. People who live alone make up 28 percent of all U.S. households, which makes them more common than any other domestic unit, including the nuclear family. In GOING SOLO, renowned sociologist and author Eric Klinenberg proves that these numbers are more than just a passing trend. They are, in fact, evidence of the biggest demographic shift since the Baby Boom: we are learning to go solo, and crafting new ways of living in the process.
Klinenberg explores the dramatic rise of solo living, 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. There’s even evidence that people who live alone enjoy better mental health than unmarried people who live with others and have more environmentally sustainable lifestyles than families, since they favor urban apartments over large suburban homes. Drawing on over three hundred in-depth interviews with men and women of all ages and every class, Klinenberg reaches a startling conclusion: in a world of ubiquitous media and hyperconnectivity, this way of life can help us discover ourselves and appreciate the pleasure of good company.
With eye-opening statistics, original data, and vivid portraits of people who go solo, Klinenberg upends conventional wisdom to deliver the definitive take on how the rise of living alone is transforming the American experience. GOING SOLO is a powerful and necessary assessment of an unprecedented social change.
More like a journalist work. 最后一章浅尝辄止的说到北欧的福利政策与单身社会,倒是可以跟风险社会的理论相联系
评分断断续续读完……貌似除了年老不能自理是个问题之外,其它都不是什么大问题……
评分They can help each other to live alone.
评分每天早上在地铁上翻几页可能早上看很困 并不会觉得有趣 像是调查报告 观点看不到啥 数据+采访的堆积 只有偶尔specific某个人的独居故事会被戳到一丢丢儿
评分中间采访的一些故事有点拖沓,理论还不够硬。值得赞赏的是,作者认为独身和独居已经是大城市的社会现象,而不是当做一个问题来研究。如果说独身是问题,那么结婚(或者说催婚和逼婚)也是问题。最后一章用瑞典的高独身率说明,单身状况的维持,需要国家政策的配合,比如对哺乳期女性的帮助等等。
