Dating → becoming exclusive → moving in together → getting married → having kids. This is the assumed trajectory that all relationships will take. If you've already started exploring non-monogamy, you have some experience with breaking the mold. But even in non-monogamous relationships, it's common to find yourself slipping back into the relationship escalator framework. This path is so ingrained, it's easy to feel pressure, both internal and external, to fit your life into its rigid set of steps. We've been there, and we continue to work every day to question our own assumptions and tendencies. In this episode, we're helping you reimagine relationships and relationship security beyond the confines of the relationship escalator. In this episode, we talk about: — What the relationship escalator is and how it shapes our expectations — Different types of escalators beyond just romantic relationships — Why getting off the escalator can be psychologically challenging — How to question relationship norms and make space for alternatives — The importance of building security outside of traditional relationship structures — Practical ways to shift language and interactions to be more inclusive Resources mentioned in this episode: — Amy Gahran's book Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator — Dr. Bella DePaulo' book Single at Heart JOIN The Year of Opening community for a full year of learning & support.

At seventy years old, psychologist and author Dr. Bella DePaulo has been happily single her entire life. Having never felt the need to couple up, DePaulo describes herself as "single at heart'" and says her solo status allows her to live her most "joyful, authentic, and meaningful" life. DePaulo has spent many years researching and writing about the single experience and has just released her first book on the subject, Single at Heart. She hopes the book will prove that a powerful, healthy, and happy life is possible not in spite of being single, but because of it. In this episode, she talks to Róisín Ingle about the different ways in which single people thrive, the common misconceptions around singledom, and why she'd rather spend her life with "the ones", than the one.

We all know the power of a great love story. In films, literature, television - a “happy ending” is shorthand for the main characters coupling up at the end. But are these romantic aspirations really a key ingredient for a happy and fulfilled life? Matthew Syed explores the idea that you can be long term single, and happy. Social scientist Bella DePaulo always knew that marriage wasn't for her. At 70 years-old, she is happily single, and always has been. She's spent her career researching, writing and speaking on the single experience, in an effort to dismantle the conventional wisdom that a happy, fulfilled life, means a coupled-up one. Matthew speaks to Yale sociologist and PhD candidate Hannah Tessler about her research into the complex, expansive relationship networks of single people. We also hear from David Bather Wood, an Assistant Professor from the University Warwick, who explains how a philosophical parable about porcupines, dating back to the 1830s, influenced contemporary understandings of the choice to live a single life.

Tune in to New Legacy Radio today, and learn about the establishment of Single Studies as a global discipline, with today's guest, Dr. Craig Wynne. Dr. Wynne is the co-editor of the recently released, Singular Selves: An Introduction to Singles Studies. He also wrote the book How to be a Happy Bachelor and has published a number of articles on singlehood. As often discussed on this show, we recognize the ways pronatalism impacts individual reproductive and relationship experiences, amidst status quo thinking and assumptions, and biases experienced by those without children, and those who are unmarried, uncoupled, in diverse relationship structures, and those who are single. Singlism, a term coined by Dr. Bella DePaulo, defines the stigmatizing and negative stereotyping of and discrimination against adults, specifically because they are single. Dr. Wynne will speak to this, and a range of terminology reflecting individual and collective experiences of singlehood. He will also address the why of an intersectional, interdisciplinary global approach to Single Studies, as we consider the questions: How do we best examine the ways systemic, social, and media perspectives have influenced the understanding of singlehood? How can we change the impact of these influences on those who are single, and center the lived experiences of singlehood for greater social change? Join us for this and much more in today's show!

We're just incomplete puzzles desperately searching for the missing piece to make us whole. But what if the risk is not what we'll miss out on if we don't organise our lives around a romantic partner, but what we'll miss out on if we do? Today, Jill speaks to Dr Bella DePaulo – the world's leading thinker on the single experience about her research, which shows that for millions of people in every corner of the globe, being single is actually the key to thriving and living their best life. And contrary to popular cultural assumptions, those who embrace their single status, grow happier as they age. Dr DePaulo is a professor of psychology with a PhD from Harvard, she's 70, has always been single, and says she always will be. She's the author of Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life. Her TEDx Talk, “What no one ever told you about people who are single,” has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. You can learn more about her at her website, www.BellaDePaulo.com or follow her on Instagram @bellasingleatheartTo stay in touch with Well Enough Alone, you can follow us on Instagram @wellenoughalonepod or @jillstark__ or support the show and get subscriber-only early access to episodes on Patreon. Well Enough Alone is a Spare Room production.

Her latest book is Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life.   In this episode, we focus on Single at Heart. We talk about Who the “single at heart” people are, their psychological traits, gender differences, the opportunities singlehood offers, and how single people deal with solitude. We discuss whether they feel the need to have kids, and their psychological well-being and life outcomes compared to people in romantic relationships. We talk about social and political discrimination against single people, and where the stigma against them stems from. We also discuss casual relationships, how to interpret statistics about people who do not have sex, new forms of relationships, and what people in relationships can learn from this. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Cesar Gonzalez Fernandez tells us all about his mission to 'Clean Something for Nothing'. Bella DePaulo talks about the growing voice for those who choose to live a life on their own and flourish doing so. Social scientist Dr. Bella DePaulo is a leading expert on the Single Life, perhaps the leading expert. Her latest book, Single at Heart, has drawn attention from all corners of the world as people feel more able to talk about living a single life, by choice, and feeling utterly fulfilled. Currently an academic affiliate in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara, Bella's work on the Single Life gained traction from her TEDx Talk which has now been viewed more than 1.7 million times. Dr. DePaulo's written work includes the books ‘Singled Out' and ‘How we live now'. ‘One is a whole number' was the trigger which started this cascade of research. This line was written by an agony aunt to a letter from a lady who had lost her partner. The idea of course is that you are whole alone. Since then, Bella has also written about the discrimination that can be a part of a single person's experience such as tax laws, but much more besides. When it comes to social events, it is now more acceptable to eat alone at restaurants but still, being single, can attach a negative stereotype. Bella is an advocate of building a great solo life, deep with fulfilling friendships, work and activities of one's own choice without compromise. Dr. DePaulo is a clear example of how to flourish psychologically, career-wise and, most importantly, by being single as a choice, not in spite of being single. Clean Something for Nothing Cesar Gonzalez Fernandez and his partner Lester founded Clean Something For Nothing (CSFN) - a mobile app that connects people to clean the world, one bag of trash at a time. Since their launch in February 2022 their users have completed over 3700 cleanups in 64 countries resulting in over 750 tons of trash picked up to date. Cesar is also an EU Climate Pact ambassador and the Country leader in Luxembourg for the World Cleanup Day organization (WCD) The WCD is the biggest environmental mobilization worldwide and has officially received a recognition by the UN to include the date (20/09) in their official calendar from 2024 onwards. However, before WCD we can work closer to home. Cesar encourages us all to be part of the "lëtz clean your commune" campaign. Luxembourg Spring Cleanup, also known as the Grouss Botz, Naturbotz or Grouss Beschbotz will take place on 23 March and will be the perfect occassion to join a local cleanup and take action.

Algunos estudios científicos indican la frecuencia y los factores que influyen a la hora de contar mentiras en la vida cotidiana. Medir la cantidad de veces que una persona miente a lo largo del día es una tarea complicada, que, además, puede variar notablemente de un individuo a otro. Por eso, sería casi imposible establecer un número exacto que pueda aplicarse de forma general. A mediados de los noventa, la psicóloga de la Universidad de California, Bella DePaulo, lideró un estudio sobre la frecuencia de las mentiras y ya ofreció algunas pistas sobre el asunto. Los resultados mostraron que estos mintieron una media de una vez al día, mientras que los estudiantes lo hicieron una media dos veces al día. Estos hallazgos se han tomado como referencia en el campo de la investigación sobre la honestidad en múltiples ocasiones, contribuyendo a que muchos investigadores asumieran que mentir es algo habitual.

"My mission in putting the single at heart on the map is to rewrite what it means to be single. Single life, to those of us who are single at heart, is a joyful place, a place to learn and grow. It is a big-hearted, expansive, meaningful life full of possibilities . . . intimacy, to us, is personal; in that domain as in all others, we follow our hearts rather than the cultural rulebooks. We chart our own life courses, with meaningfulness, psychological richness, and authenticity as our guide." —Dr. Bella DePaulo, author of Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life Joining me on the podcast today is a guest who has courageously chosen to share that she thoroughly and unapologetically savors living a single life. The leading expert on single living, Dr. Bella DePaulo dispels the myths that pervade modern-day (and historic) cultures around the world when it comes to being single by looking at the research that is often cherry-picked and misleading as it speaks to in what type of relationship status one finds the most happiness. But most importantly, in her new book that was just released yesterday December 5th (2023), Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life, she focuses on an abundance of findings that reveal the many benefits of living single. From improved health and deeper life satisfaction as we age. Thankfully, so much of what is portrayed in media - films, books, television, pretty much everywhere - is not an accurate depiction of where and how happiness is found. By no means is Single at Heart an anti-marriage or anti-couple book, but rather a book that reveals that those of us who have chosen to be single, who find it far more fulfilling than being in a traditional couple, need only trust our inner compass to continue to choose the life that brings us fulfillment. As she points out, the world would be far more peaceful and content if we would trust what we know to be true of ourselves - those who wish to be in a couple would find people who truly wanted to be in a couple, and those who savored their single life would not feel forced to choose a life that was not nourishing. Tune in to today's conversation where we will talk about the priority and value of freedom as well as benefits of solitude for the Single at Heart, and also speak to how those who are widows/widowers, as well as divorcees, can step into a new chapter of revelation about where and how joy can be cultivated. Dr. DePaulo discusses the importance of nurturing The Ones rather than just The One and reminds us that courageously saying we love our single life is what is needed to change the view that the culture errantly holds on to.

“Amatonormativity is the set of societal assumptions that everyone prospers with an exclusive romantic relationship. Elizabeth Brake coined the neologism to capture societal assumptions about romance.[1][2] Brake wanted to describe the pressure she received by many to prioritize marriage in her own life when she did not want to. Amatonormativity extends beyond social pressures for marriage to include general pressures involving romance.[2][3] The word amatonormativity comes from amatus, which is the Latin word for "loved", and normativity, referring to societal norms.[4][1] Another word which is similarly related to the word amatonormativity is amative. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word amative as: strongly moved by love and especially sexual love. Relating to or indicative of love. Amorous is a closely related word also derived from amatus.[5] Related terms include allonormativity, which means a worldview that assumes all people experience sexual and romantic attraction, and compulsory sexuality, which means social norms and practices that marginalizes non-sexuality.[6] The term was modeled after the term heteronormativity, the belief that heterosexuality is the default for sexual orientation.[7] Elizabeth Brake describes the term as a pressure or desire for monogamy, romance, and/or marriage. The desire to find relationships that are romantic, sexual, monogamous, and lifelong has many social consequences. People who are asexual, aromantic, and/or nonmonogamous become social oddities. According to researcher Bella DePaulo, it puts a stigma on single people as incomplete and pushes romantic partners to stay in unhealthy relationships because of a fear the partners may have of being single.[8][1] According to Brake, one way in which amatonormativity is institutionally applied is the law and morality surrounding marriage. Loving friendships, queerplatonic, and other relationships are not given the same legal protections romantic partners are given through marriage.[9] Brake wrote a book, Minimizing Marriage, in which she defines amatonormativity as "the widespread assumption that everyone is better off in an exclusive, romantic, long-term coupled relationship, and that everyone is seeking such a relationship."[10]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

In this week's episode, I talk to writer and professor, Craig Wynne. Craig is a writer and professor at the University of the District of Columbia where he teaches rhetoric and writing studies to first year students. His courses are themed around relationships and single studies. He is also a happy bachelor although this wasn't always the case. In 2015, the end of romantic relationship had brought on a whole host of negative feelings around being single. This took him on a journey and exploration of all things single.Craig subsequently wrote a book, How To Be A Happy Bachelor, in which he provides his own observations, anecdotes, advice and takes on all things related to singlehood, and which is primarily written from the male point of view. Because after all, there are many books out there designed to show women how to be single, but no so many for men!   Topics that Craig & I cover are:his university student's views on being single;the internalised singlism that Craig suffered from following the break up of his relationship in 2015;how he came across the work of Bella DePaulo which was the catalyst for his journey into singlehood;how he brought some of his single research into his work, including a course called ‘How To Be Single & Happy', and how this led the book deal for ‘How To Be A Happy Bachelor';how men also received stigma around being single, although it looks very different to the narratives around single women;how men often find it harder to form social networks which can lead to isolation;the Facebook network, The Community of Single People (CoSP);how Craig does date, but finds that the single life suits him;The groups MGTOW (Men Going There Own Way) and INCEL (Involuntary Celibates) and their anger towards women;the vastly differing meanings behind the words ‘spinster' and ‘bachelor';Craig's thoughts around men's behaviour when dating online;how Craig met his most recent lady friend organically on a subway platform. (I LOVE this!);the terms ‘matrimania', ‘singlism' and ‘amatonormativity'.how we can all find our tribe thanks to the world of the internet;Craig and my mutual love of music, and going to gigs alone;how singles should get out there and do things by themselves, because the truth is that nobody really cares!Craig's Website:https://www.thehappybachelor.org/ Buy Craig's book (UK), How To Be A Happy Bachelor:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Happy-Bachelor-Craig-Wynne-author/dp/1792407076 Buy Craig's book (US), How To Be A Happy Bachelor:https://www.amazon.com/How-Happy-Bachelor-Craig-Wynne/dp/1792407076  Book a FREE 30 minute coaching 'taster' session HERE: https://calendly.com/lucymeggeson/30minute Fancy getting your hands on my FREE Top 10 Mindset Tips?

This week, Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are talking about the single life and why it's important to find ways to be happy and secure when you're not in a relationship–whether for 6 months or the rest of your life. What are the benefits of taking some time to be single and just focus on yourself without having one eye toward looking for your next relationship? Sarah tells us about folks who are, as Dr. Bella DePaulo describes them, "single at heart?" Are you someone who doesn't need a plus-one at every event? Do you thrive in solitude? Would you much rather watch your shows and eat your snacks without having to share with someone else? Jeff breaks down the Relationship Escalator–those steps society expects us to take when it comes to finding a partner and advancing our relationships (dating, marriage, kids, etc.)–and describes the ways society can really look down on people who, for one reason or another, don't adhere to that formula. Jeff and Sarah talk about their favorite Disney movies and how stories like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin can reinforce our ideas of what being in a relationship should look like, for better or worse. Give up your voice for a man? Come on! If you're single, now's the time to lean into the cliche of dating yourself. Use the fancy teacup. Don't save the bath bomb. Take some time to explore and ask yourself who you are, for your own sake.

The conventional wisdom in politics all year has been Republicans will win back the House and maybe the Senate on the wings of Joe Biden's low approval ratings and the economy's high inflation rate. But, ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, that narrative has been suffering. On Tuesday, New York voters chipped away further. We look deep into contests right in Marist's backyard to see what the results really say about the November midterms.Next, we welcome author and U.C. Santa Barbara lecturer Bella DePaulo (@belladepaulo) who coined the term "Singleism" more than a decade ago. Now it's in the dictionary. She explains how society and the law discriminate against single people -- single women especially -- and why some studies about how staying single is hazardous to your health are bunk.Then, we return to the subject of last episode's Fun Fact -- ice cream.

Crack The Behavior Code

Why We Lie, And The Neuroscience Behind It I'm fine. Of course, I love you. I'll call you. No, you don't look fat in those jeans. We are liars. All of us. We lie to save face, to avoid hurting other people's feelings, to impress others, to shirk responsibility, to hide misdeeds, as a social lubricant, to prevent conflict, to get out of work, and many more reasons. And we lie a lot. Deception costs businesses and government billions, ruins relationships, undermines what we care about, and even takes lives. The more white matter (see my blog The Truth About How Your Brain Gets Smarter)--or some might even say the more intelligent the neocortex—the greater potential a person has to lie. Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., a psychologist at the University of Virginia, has confirmed that lying is simply a condition of life. In her research, she found that both men and women lie in approximately one-fifth of their social exchanges lasting 10 or more minutes. Wow. And over the course of a week, we deceive about 30 percent of people we have 1:1 interactions with. Wow—wow!! Women are more likely to tell altruistic lies to avoid hurting other people's feelings, and men are more likely to lie about themselves. De Paulo found that men lie more often to impress. A typical conversation between two guys contains about eight times as many self-oriented lies as it does lies about others. Your Brain On Lies Three key parts of our brain are stimulated when we lie. First, the frontal lobe (of the neocortex), which has the ability to suppress the truth—yes, it's capable of dishonesty due to its intellectual role. Second, the limbic system due to the anxiety that comes with deception (hi, amygdala!)—and yes, when we're lied to, our “Spiderman sense” here can perk up, just as we can feel guilty/stressed when we're doing the lying. And third, the temporal lobe is involved because it's responsible for retrieving memories and creating mental imagery. Just for fun, add the anterior cingulate cortex because it helps in monitoring errors, and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex because it is trying all the while to control our behavior. Our brain is busy, busy, busy when we lie. And it's far more peaceful when we tell the truth because our limbic systems aren't stressed about lying and our frontal lobe isn't inhibiting the truth. Lies At WorkWhere do we see a prevalence of lies? At work, or more specifically, to get out of work.According to Zety's recent 2020 research, of over 1,000 Americans, they found 96% confessed to lying to get out of work. Here's the net-net:The most common lies include feeling sick (84%), family emergencies (65%), doctor's appointments (60%), or lying about a family member's death (31%)! On average, one person has used 7 different excuses to get out of work on different occasions. Only 27% of respondents who lied to get out of work regretted it, and 41% of respondents would lie again. 91% of people making up excuses to get out of the office were never caught!More men than women were caught lying, and only 27% of respondents who lied to get out of work regretted it. For those caught, 70% regretted lying. But despite not feeling bad about themselves for lying, 59% of respondents said they wouldn't do it again. Here's a silver lining: the older we get, the less compelled we are to lie to avoid work. Are we all pathological liars? Or do we need to look at why we feel compelled to make up stories instead of just telling the truth? Is lying to avoid work a cultural problem, at least in part? And what about people that don't experience regret when they lie? The stance of perpetual innocence or extreme entitlement (and thus reality distortion) is a topic I addressed in my blogs on Borderline Personalities [Kelcie: link to my 2 blogs on this please].Lying RxTo reduce the amount of lying in your workplace, you'll want to first look at how safe people feel. Is it ok to tell the truth? Is it ok to fail? Is it ok to be human and not a superhero/work robot/cog in a wheel? Is it ok to have feelings and need a break now and then? Find out.· Do regular employee engagement surveys – see our fave one here [show either SBM Index sample heat map or link to blog that explains it]· Use the emotion wheel at the beginning of each meeting to check in on how everyone is doing· Create support groups [Kelcie link to this blog] if people need a little extra help So why do we lie? Because it works for us. Temporarily, at least. For fun, you might want to join me in telling the five types of truth [Kelcie please link to this blog]. And you'll notice not only how good it feels, but how much simpler it makes your life.How often do you lie? Why? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

NFCC's Guide Through the Seasons of Mental Wellness

We've all heard that question, “Who am I outside of this relationship/marriage”. Singleism, the term for people living life outside of a committed, romantic relationship, is an emerging area of focus on a state of living that many people experience at some point in life. There is so much wonderful momentum behind the concept of living life while single and destigmatizing past views of what “living single” means in order to open us all up to the possibilities of our very own selves! Helping us explore the beauty and challenges of single hood at any age is NFCC's Lead Clinician, Heather Timmis, MA, LMFT-S. About Heather Timmis: Heather Timmis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT-S) who works with families, couples and individuals ages 3 years and up.

Hey #TheJoshCast, we here at the last episode of “Living Single”. The single life is blessing and a curse. Single people still face a stigma, even though their ranks have grown. Yet a new study suggests singles become happier as they age. One strategy: Focus on creating a full life now, for yourself, rather than finding a partner. After Katie Tomaszewski divorced at the age of 28, she felt ashamed to be alone. So she did what she thought a single person should do: She over-dated, over-worked and over-socialized, inviting friends over for dinner nearly every night because she was afraid of being lonely. “It was constant socializing and constant distraction,” says Ms. Tomaszewski, now a 36-year-old Pilates instructor in Chicago. “I became desperate and depressed, looking for someone—anyone—to save me from being alone.” Yes, it can be tough to be single. But a new study published this past December in the Journals of Gerontology offers hope for those who are struggling. Singles today are more satisfied with their lives than singles in the past, the study found. And people who are single become more satisfied with their lives as they grow older, according to researchers from the German Centre of Gerontology in Berlin, who analyzed data from the German Ageing Survey, a nationally representative sample of people between the ages or 40 and 85. Experts say the findings ring true for Western countries broadly. This is important news, because one of the biggest demographic trends of the past 50 years is the rise of singles: In 2017, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey reported that more than 120 million U.S. residents, or almost 48% of adults aged 18 or older, were divorced, widowed or had never been married. In 1970, 29% of the population, or 39 million adults aged 18 or older, were single.And yet single people still face a stigma. Bella DePaulo, a social scientist and author of “Singled Out,” has been studying singles since the late 1990s and has coined the phrase “singlism” to describe the ways in which people discriminate against singles. The stereotyping includes the assumptions that singles are miserable, lonely or selfish; that they are desperate to get married; that there must be something wrong with someone who is single. Some single people internalize all that, even if they like being single,” Dr. DePaulo says. “They even sometimes think that liking single life is itself a sign that something is wrong with them.” Society is organized around couples—they get breaks on everything from club memberships to tickets and events. And it can be a drag for singles when people offer advice or insist on fixing them up. “I think the phrase ‘fix you up' is telling,” says Dr. DePaulo. “It seems to suggest that you are broken, and that coupling will mend you.” She says the hardest time to be single is around the age of 30. That's when the expectation to be married becomes most intense. Friends and relatives are marrying, or are already married, and single people often feel like the odd person out. This feeling is most acute in single people who socialize primarily with couples. “Couples often demote their single friends to lunch or daytime events or children's birthday parties, basically treating them as if they are not fully adult,” Dr. DePaulo says. It is possible for single people to adjust their attitude and become happier. In a not-yet-published study done at Simon Fraser University, in greater Vancouver, British Columbia, psychologists gave single people one of two made-up articles to read, one reporting that singles are generally happy in life and one reporting that they are not. People who read the happy version of the article reported higher levels of life satisfaction and lower desire to find a relationship than those who read the more negative version. Basically, “if you have a fear of being single this undermines your well-being,” says Yuthika Girme, a social psychologist and lead researcher on the study. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/joshua-sherron/support

Hey #TheJoshCast fam, Let's talk about Living Single. Our Host, Joshua is a 90s baby that loves the 90s! Let's dive right in, Living Single is an American sitcom television series that aired for five seasons on the Fox network from August 22, 1993 to January 1, 1998. The show centered on the lives of six friends who shared personal and professional experiences while living in a Brooklyn brownstone. This is important news, because one of the biggest demographic trends of the past 50 years is the rise of singles: In 2017, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey reported that more than 120 million U.S. residents, or almost 48% of adults aged 18 or older, were divorced, widowed or had never been married.

„Stephan – ich muss immer zweimal verkaufen. Einmal extern beim Kunden, das kann schon schweißtreibend werden. Aber das zweite Mal ist noch viel anstrengender und vor allem nervenaufreibend: intern!“ Das ist der O-Ton eines Verkäufers im Außendienst im B2B-Vertrieb. Bella DePaulo, ehemalige Psychologie Professorin an der University of California, hält in einer ihrer Publikationen fest: Verkäufern eilt beim Kunden ein Misstrauensvorschuss voraus. Die Ursache? Einige schwarze Schafe versuchen mit psychologischen Tricks Kunden zu übervorteilen. Das schlägt sich auch in der internen Unternehmenskommunikation nieder. Was der Vertrieb von anderen Abteilungen als Unterstützung einfordert, wird häufig skeptisch beäugt: „Ihr macht intern wieder alle verrückt!“ – heißt es vielfach. Seitens der Abteilungen, die nicht dafür geradestehen müssen, wenn der Umsatz „nicht kommt“, ist das leicht gesagt. Der Vertrieb muss den wichtigsten Stakeholder des Unternehmens überzeugen – den Kunden. Jeder im Unternehmen sollte verstehen, dass Anforderungen aus dem Vertrieb kein Akt der internen Geißelung sind, sondern dazu beitragen, Kunden positiv zu verblüffen und das Unternehmen weiterzubringen. Ergo: Anforderungen aus dem Vertrieb nicht zerreden, sondern umsetzen. Link zum Blogbeitrag: hier klicken.

 贝拉·德波罗哈佛大学心理学博士贝拉·德波罗(BellaDePaulo)一直专注于研究单身人群,最近,她根据2017年的研究数据,发现了4个关于单身人士的新现象。第一,现在单身人士比以往任何时候都要多。据调查,在美国就有超过1亿1千万的成年居民离婚、丧偶或一直单身,占成年人口45%。而根据全球最负盛名的民间独立调研机构皮尤研究中心的报告预测,当如今的年轻人到50岁时,他们当中约有四分之一的人是终生单身。第二,婚姻不再被当做是成年的关键部分。根据美国2017年人口普查局的数据,有55%调查对象认为,结婚和生孩子不再是成年人的重要指标,另外有95%更看重“完成正规教育”和“有一个全职工作”。 第三,感情质量不好,自尊也会下降。研究人员调查德国超过9000人的数据获悉,只有当情侣关系稳定维持在一年以上,人们才能通过一段感情来提高自我价值感。反之,自尊心就会比单身人士要更低。第四,婚姻不意味着会更健康。一项调查跟踪79000名50到79岁的美国女性,记录了她们三年内的感情状态,健康数据和生活习惯。结果显示,单身或离婚的女性普遍比已婚女性更健康。以上虽然是欧美国家的调查数据,但是其中一些观点希望能够对诸位起到参考的作用。贝拉·德保罗(Bella DePaulo),哈佛大学心理学博士,二十多年致力于“说谎行为”和“单身心理学”的研究,《时代周刊》、《华盛顿邮报》、《纽约客》长期撰稿人.以上内容由磨时艺见整理,希望对你有所启发。磨时艺见,每晚9点,准时更新!

I veckans Stil tittar vi närmare på singelpolitik, singeldiskriminering och hur samhället ibland gör det svårt för människor att leva ensamma. Historiskt sett har singlar ansetts farliga, sjuka och neurotiska. Även om just de här singelstereotyperna har försvunnit idag har de ersatts av nya för singelskapet fortsätter att vara laddat. Det händer att singlar idag blir exkluderade från middagar, har svårt att hitta en bostad och förväntas jobba över. Men beteenden som tidigare var dolt har nu börjat uppmärksammas och i USA har termen "singeldiskriminering" börjat användas. 1986 publicerade det amerikanska magasinet Newsweek en artikel som satte skräck i USA:s alla singelkvinnor. Omslaget pryddes av ett gigantiskt diagram och texten singelkvinnor så här stor chans har du att bli gift. Enligt artikeln var sannolikheten större att dö i en terroristattack än att bli gift efter 40. Att det var män från Harvard och Yale som gjort studien och att den aldrig stämde fick inte lika mycket uppmärksamhet. Förra året fick artikeln dock ett svar. Det var New York Magazine som skapat ett omslag som pryddes av en gigantisk kvinnohand med röda naglar som pekade finger och i tidningen fanns det en lång artikel om den nya singelepoken.  I veckans program åker vi till Santa Barbara i Kalifornien och träffar Bella DePaulo som är USA:s mest kända singelaktivist. Hon har myntat begreppet "singelism", som kan jämföras med sexism och rasism. Vi besöker även New Yorks första microlägenhter, små supermoderna bostäder framtagna för singlar. Och så träffar vi två andra singelaktivister  Johan Wahlbäck som står bakom företaget Singelringen och Kim Calvert som driver ett magasin för singlar i Los Angeles. Veckans gäst är forskaren Glenn Sandström, som precis satt igång med en singelstudie om skillnader i välfärd och hälsa. Programmet är gjort av Sofia Hedström.

Today's theme: 혼밥 (Honbap, eating alone) Food has always played an incredibly huge role in Korean culture. The communal aspect has long been a part of Korean dining - this is reflected in the many side dishes that fill the tables and surround the large communal dish from which diners collectively eat out. And yet all that is slowly beginning to change. An online discussion on eating alone in Korea in 2014 featured no mention of the term 혼밥. Now, however, it's a different world. News reports, magazine articles, youtube videos, and apps all heavily feature this term and its many spinoffs. There has been a lot of changes in South Korea recently - in the political landscape, the ethical values, the boardrooms of businesses, and on the very tables on which the inhabitants of this fair land now eat - often alone. >>>The Conversationalist with university students 백유진 & 신유진 Do university students do more or less “honbap” than other people? Have you heard of any restaurants that are changing their style for “honbap”? & Bella DePaulo - visiting professor in Social Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara - author of the book How We Live Now: Redefining Home and Family in the 21st Century Common perception is that singles would be more isolated and lonely than people who live with family. But you said studies show otherwise? A government-sponsored study here showed that people who eat alone for all three meals have a higher chance of becoming obese. What's your tip for eating alone in a healthy way? >>>A Few Minutes with Amos I don't shop often but when I do, I always just leave my cart or basket in a corner out of the way. I can't stand people who slowly push their carts with one finger through the middle of the aisle, stop to look at the shelf, put their cart another inch, then stop again. Also, there are people who carry their baskets with them and take up twice the space of a normal person…. >>>Next week: Audition programs

Put the words "murder" and "loner" into a web search and you won't have any shortage of matches. Certainly it's been a characteristic used to describe several perpetrators of mass violence in the fairly recent past. Some research about loneliness, and those who retreat deeply into it, suggests that a significant number suffer physical and emotional risks of their own…which sometimes can trigger backlash behavior against society. Statistics suggest that the percentages of people living alone keeps moving steadily forward and the number of people who report being lonely at any given point in time has jumped from 20% in 1980 to 40% more recently. A Guardian column was titled, THE AGE OF LONELINESS IS KILLING US, while on the other hand, a Psychology Today column was titled THE HAPPY LONER and began with the words “Loners get a bad rap.” We had a number of conversations with folks who have studied what's happening when loneliness develops, how it can devolve into anti-social behavior, but more important still, how it can upset personal peace and lead to an aching depression and physical challenges and a compromised hope for a longer life. Our guests also reflect on how an individual can get help and how those close to a lonely loved one can offer support.
