About the Book

Happy Singlehood charts a way forward for singles to live life on their terms, and shows how everyone--single or coupled--can benefit from accepting solo living. Based on personal interviews, quantitative analysis, and extensive review of singles' writings and literature, author Elyakim Kislev uncovers groundbreaking insights on how unmarried people create satisfying lives in a world where social structures and policies are still designed to favor marriage. In this carefully crafted book, Kislev investigates how singles nurture social networks, create innovative communities, and effectively deal with discrimination. Happy Singlehood challenges listeners to rethink how single people organize social and familial ties in new ways, and illuminates how educators, policymakers, and urban planners should cater to their needs.

About the Author :
Ever since Adam Lofbomm pressed Record on his Fisher-Price recorder back in 1984, he's been bringing worlds to life in words. Over the years, his passion for language inspired him to read broadly, write extensively, speak publicly, perform on-stage and on-camera, but when he stepped into the vocal booth for his first narration job in Seoul, Korea, back in 2006, all those many pieces just clicked into place. He realized then and there that voice acting was what he was made to do. Over the last eleven years working as a professional voice-over actor, Adam has had the great fortune to collaborate with some of the best publishers and organizations in the world. Whether or not Malcolm Gladwell was right when he said that ten-thousand hours will make you world-class at something, Adam did stop counting after he surpassed that milestone in 2016. Elyakim Kislev has a PhD in sociology from Columbia University and holds three master's degrees in counseling, public policy, and sociology. He is a faculty member in the School of Public Policy and Government at the Hebrew University, specializing in minorities, social policy, and singles studies. His writings include various articles and edited books on the subjects of leadership, immigration, social and educational policy, ethnic minorities, and group therapy.

Review :
A breath of fresh air . . . Kislev brilliantly shows us that singles can be very happy in the modernworld and that public policy must adapt.-- "Jocelyn Crowley, author of Gray Divorce" "Narrator Adam Lofbomm's near-flawless phrasing has a no-nonsense quality that could have sounded mechanical but doesn't because of his genuine enthusiasm and colorful vocal palette...Lofbomm's steady security is a good match for the research-oriented material, and he has a talent for sounding positive and enthusiastic without slipping into overselling." -- "AudioFile"
