Description

Are you ready to embrace the single life and thrive? This week on Doing Well: The Wellbeing Science Insights Podcast, host Lu Ngo is joined by social scientist Dr. Bella DePaulo to learn more about what it takes to thrive as a single person in a relationship-centred world.


Having been dubbed America’s foremost thinker and writer on the single experience, Dr. Bella DePaulo is the leading expert on single life. Dr. Bella DePaulo has always been single, and has pledged to remain single. In addition to writing a The Times best self-help book ‘Single at Heart’, her TEDx talk ‘What No One Ever Told You About People Who Are Single’ has been viewed over 1.7 million times.


In this episode, Dr. Bella DePaulo explains the misconceptions about being single, as well as the concept of well-being. She sheds light on how people cope with being single, be it positive or negative, and how this affects their mental well-being.


Together, Lu and Dr. Bella DePaulo discuss the idea of autonomy, and what strategies one can set up to foster a sense of autonomy and ultimately combat loneliness to cultivate a more fulfilling single life. So, tune in this week for expert insights and actionable advice on singlehood!
