About this listen

“Solo - The Single Person's Guide to a Remarkable Life” by Dr. Peter McGraw, seeks to celebrate and destigmatize single living. Welcome to the podcast that explores how being single affords you the freedom to be adventurous, start a business, make art, travel the world, get in shape, or simply sleep in when you want to. Join Peter – behavioral scientist, humor researcher, and bachelor – as he interviews happy single men and women and assembles advice from leading experts about health, fitness, money, business, travel, fashion, art, leisure, and of course, sex and dating. For the so-called spinster or bachelor, Solo is the resource for people who are happily single (aka the unapologetically unattached).

    A Rich Remarkable Life (Again)
    Jun 3 2025

    In this re-release of a thought-provoking episode, Peter McGraw is joined by Dr. Erin Westgate for a lively exploration of what it means to live a psychologically rich life. Moving beyond the usual narratives of happiness and meaning, this episode introduces a third path—one filled with novelty, complexity, and perspective-changing experiences. From solo travel to one-way tickets, Peter and Erin unpack how embracing uncertainty and pursuing the unconventional can lead to a more remarkable life. With so many new members joining the Solo community, this conversation is well worth revisiting. Tune in and start enriching your life—on your own terms!

    Meditations For (Single) Mortals

    What if the key to a remarkable life isn’t doing more—but doing less, better? In this episode, Peter McGraw welcomes author Oliver Burkeman to explore themes from his latest book Meditations for Mortals. They dive into the beauty of limits, the folly of perfectionism, and why embracing imperfection might be the most productive thing you can do. Tune in for kayak metaphors, scruffy hospitality, and practical wisdom for the Solo life.

This is a great podcast. Finally, something which celebrates being single and asks how we can live our best, most remarkable lives whilst single rather than every other show/media about being solo which treats it like a temporary, shameful state better not spoken about and ended with a conventional relationship as soon as possible! Some of us enjoy and relish the single, independent state, love the lives we build of friendship, careers and experiences. Living in ways other to the accepted norm should be celebrated, and this is what this podcast does.

Intelligent, interesting and inspiring

Debunks so much received conditioning. It should be made into a school curriculum. Very helpful in making ethical and safe decisions when breaking away from the norm of the relationship escalator.

Absolutely fantastic
