In his new book "Going Solo," Eric Klinenberg interviewed hundreds of people living alone. He wanted to know why in the modern world more than 50 percent of adults are single, and why so many love living alone. We explore the rise in solo-living and the sociology behind it.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Eric Klinenberg, author of "Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone"
