Does The Art of Living Alone and Loving It hold up?

The Art of Living Alone and Loving It, by Jane Mathews (2018)

A practical guide to living alone: relationships, health, home, money, interests and travel.

The short answer

Its practical advice is sound; a projection reported with it does not hold.

The claims, checked

By 2026 more people will live alone than in nuclear-family households (reported with the book's release).

Does not hold In 2021 there were 3.12 million couple families with children against 2.64 million lone-person households, and the Bureau's projections keep couple families with children ahead to 2046.
