DePaulo has gained worldwide recognition as a foremost authority on single living. Her research has challenged traditional assumptions about being single and raised a call for a fulfilling life without marital or relationship constraints.
A renowned author, DePaulo’s book ‘Single at Heart’ and a much-followed TEDx Talk on the same subject have been instrumental in bringing attention to the societal perceptions of single life. Her research further examines the prejudice single people encounter, bolstering the idea that one can thrive while choosing to be single.
