Book excerpt: Graydon Adler: A man who’s impossible to forget. Yet the first time our paths crossed on a SEAL mission – the kind that requires computer nerds like me to mingle with SEALs like him – I was so terrified that I barely remember him there. But every time after that? Oh, I remember plenty… Abs for days, shoulders that fill up a doorway, and a hard-earned SEAL trident on his uniform. Years later, he’s hitting me up for the kind of favor that would fill any woman with utter rapture – pretend I’m his date on a wedding cruise to get his family off his decidedly muscular back. Now I’m on a ship destined for paradise with a man who could shatter my heart. Because computer nerds like me don’t end up with SEALs like him. But I’ll indulge in this fantasy, hating that I want so much more of this. Hating that this will end. It’s too glorious – too addictive – being his plus one.

Download or read book How We Live Now written by Bella M. DePaulo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close-up examination and exploration, 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. Across America and around the world, in cities and suburbs and small towns, people from all walks of life are redefining our “lifespaces”—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. Today, Americans have more choices than ever before in creating new ways to live and meet their personal needs and desires. Social scientist, researcher, and writer Bella DePaulo has traveled across America to interview people experimenting with the paradigm of how we live. In How We Live Now, 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. Through personal interviews and stories, media accounts, and in-depth research, How We Live Now explores thriving lifespaces, and offers the reader choices that are freer, more diverse, and more attuned to our modern needs for the twenty-first century and beyond.
