About this listen

An inspirational toolkit for solo living - full of sound, practical advice, warmth and humour. Whether you view living alone as the ultimate compromise or the ultimate luxury, it presents daily challenges, such as cooking for one, organising holidays, juggling finances and avoiding the siren call of wine, Ugg boots and Netflix.

And there are the less tangible tests, like nailing the octopus of loneliness to the wall and holding your head high in a society where solo living is viewed (consciously or not) as the runner-up prize.

Author Jane Mathews believes that to be truly content living alone, it pays to examine every aspect of your life - relationships, health, home, finances, interests and spirituality - and then take action. No matter what your unique situation, there's something here for you. Jane provides the map, and you choose the route to a more joyful, contented life.

A very thorough look at all aspects of living life alone and how it may actually be enjoyed.
It is lovely listening to Jane read her own material, her voice is stable and reassuring. There
are some funny single person stories but never at the readers' expense.

Gripping and honest, and real.

I found this book really boring. There is nothing inspiring about it at all and nothing that I haven’t already considered, discovered or implemented into my life. In one chapter, being described a list of recipes and how to cook each one of them is not only boring but pointless in an audio book. The author has a very monotone voice and doesn’t sound at all excited by the book she has written herself. I don’t see the value in it and skipped through the chapters.

Very dull and non inspirational
