Solo Success!

You CAN Do Things On Your Own

By Christine Ingall

"Coupledom is the norm. Yet, whether through choice or circumstance, bereavement or divorce, there are now millions of people living alone. Anyone who finds themselves living alone can reluctantly lead a shrunken life, waiting for friends to be available, for family to invite them out. But you CAN get that coffee, see that play, or go for a country walk on your own...I will show you how to live your best life every day."

- Christine Ingall, Solo Success author & solo lifestyle expert

Christine Ingall wants her book to change the lives of the 7.7 million people in the UK living on their own. Why? Because it's her belief that people on their own stop doing the sorts of social things that they think can only be done by a couple or group. Things like going out to see a show or film, stopping at a café or pub for a drink, or going for a long walk. Theyshrinktheir life in this way out of thefearof being seen to be on their own:beingvisibly alone.At a time when society is concerned about the ageing population and the growing number of people who report being lonely, no-one else is writing about support for those who live alone, the largest proportion of whom are middle-aged. This totally unique, much-needed, step-by-step guide helps such people to conquer their fear, and build the confidence to pursue the things they enjoy doing, when they want to do them and, most importantly,on their own.

 

Christine Ingall never expected to be single and live alone for more than 30 years, or that it could be so much fun and pass so quickly. She hasn't always found it natural or easy to pursue her hobbies and do the things she loves on her own. It's from this personal experience that Christine writes so warmly, openly and armed with tips, tricks and strategies - she's failed countless times so you don't have to!


Solo Successtakes the reader on a journey from preparation through to activity-specific advice and ideas to help your first solo experience go smoothly. It's the literary equivalent of a good friend holding your hand throughout the whole experience, until you eventually feel confident and happy enough to tackle something on your own.
