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.
