Self-Help and Humor One place where singles clearly have not been overlooked is in the self-help industry. Many titles seem to suggest that singles–especially single women–have a condition they need help in curing; or, the authors try to reassure singles that it really is possible to be single and happy. The titles listed here are just a small sampling of the self-help and humor books for singles.
