Secrets to Being Happily Single

October 27th, 2005 by Sarah White

A forthcoming book says that being happy, whether married or single, is all a matter of attitude. It’s All in Your Head by Stephen Pollan will be out in January from HarperCollins.

“True happiness comes not from material, or external factors, but from psychological, or internal factors. Happiness is a mental, not a physical state,” he says.

Here are some tips from the book on being happily single forever:

— Embrace your freedom; you’re not someone who was married or someone who will be married.
— Join in: Odd numbers are okay and three isn’t a crowd.
— Realize there’s nothing you can’t do single that you could do married.
— Revel in your quirkiness and eccentricities.
— Every week do something new that you think you’d like.
