So What If I Love My Single Life by YouTuber Seen Aromi, who has captivated 400,000 readers, covers everything you need to live alone successfully. If you want to live a fulfilling day all by yourself, this book is a must-read.

When you say you want to live alone, you often hear nagging from people around you: “Isn’t it dangerous to live alone?” “Won’t you feel lonely if you don’t get married?” “When you get older, even if you want to meet someone, it will be difficult.” But spending your whole life with someone is a personal choice, and the truth is, there’s nothing that can’t be solved while living alone.

So What If I Love My Single Life humorously and honestly shows how Seen Aromi, a travel and finance YouTuber, meditation guide, and lecturer, lives well on her own and why she chose to live this way. She shares the joys of living alone—weekends where you can relax lazily without worrying about others, a space designed purely to your taste, trips where you go wherever you want and eat whatever you like. She says that living alone can be this free and happy.

For those who are intrigued by the idea of enjoying a solo life but feel a bit hesitant, the book kindly explains the specific methods and preparations needed. It includes helpful, detailed tips for beginners, such as the “How to Live Well Alone” list, “How to Be Brave,” “Practical Things to Prepare for Living Alone,” and “How to Create Time and Space for Yourself.”

The most important task for living a happy life is to understand yourself. Living alone might just be a way to truly get to know who you are. The author suggests that the mere ability to discover what kind of person you are, what you like, and what you dislike is reason enough to live alone.
