The Science of Solos
Singles make up an increasing proportion of customers and employees. Yet, they are often overlooked by organizations focused on families.
Peter McGraw created Single Insights after seeing too many missed opportunities to serve his Solo podcast listeners, the 200,000+ members of his solo clubs on Clubhouse, and millions of other single adults. Using science, case studies, and large-scale surveys to reveal the distinct wants, needs, values, and lifestyles of solos.

Comedians don’t just deal with an uncertain world, they thrive in it. Drawing on cutting-edge research and his own comedy successes (and failures), McGraw presents inspiring lessons gleaned from the practices and perspectives of the most creative rule breakers. And you’ll never be asked to tell a joke.
“A must-read for those looking to drive growth, progress, and sustainable success.”
