About Bella DePaulo
I’m single. I always have been and always will be. Using a term I coined, I’m “single at heart.” Living single is how I live my best life – my most meaningful, fulfilling, psychologically rich, and authentic life. I’m a social scientist, author, blogger, teacher, speaker, and consultant. I grew up in the small town of Dunmore, Pennsylvania (near Scranton) and I now live joyfully in the spectacularly beautiful tiny town of Summerland, California (near Santa Barbara).

What no one ever told you about people who are single
Movies, novels, love songs, and even scientific research all seem to tell us the same stories: Everyone wants to find that special someone. The untold stories help us understand why so many people choose single life and thrive there, often finding meaning, fulfillment, autonomy, mastery, rich and varied personal relationships, and sweet solitude in their single lives.
