Summary:
"
How
We
Live
Now
challenges our old concepts of what it means to be a
family
and have a
home
, opening the door to the many diverse and thriving experiments of living in twenty-first
century
America. Around the world, in cities and suburbs and small towns, people from all walks of life are
redefining
the way
we
live
and who
we
live
with. The traditional nuclear
family
in their single-family
home
on a suburban lot has lost its place of prominence in contemporary life.
We
have more choices than ever before in creating new ways to
live
and meet their personal needs and desires. Social scientist Bella DePaulo has traveled across America to interview people experimenting with the paradigm of
how
we
live
. She explores everything from multi-generational homes to cohousing communities where one's
family
is made up of friends and neighbors to couples living apart together to single-living, and ultimately uncovers a pioneering landscape for living that throws the old blueprint out the window. Thriving lifespaces which offer us choices that are freer, more diverse, and more attuned to our modern needs for the twenty-first
century
