Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Taylor Swift once said, "The scary news is, you are on your own now. But the cool news is, you are on your own now." The fear of loneliness has been instilled in our minds since we were children. We have learned that the child who eats and sits alone, and has no friends, is often perceived as pathetic. In every book and movie, the character with no friends is typically portrayed as weak and in need of salvation. No one wants to be seen as a "weirdo", hence our dread of being alone. We do not want people to think of us as unwanted or not fitting in with the popular crowd. We do not want people to think that no one chose us. So, what do we do? We start becoming an ideal version of someone whom everyone loves. In the process of seeking people''s acceptance and love, however, you lose yourself. But enough is enough. The book is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on transforming loneliness into solitude. The second section explores using your solitude as a catalyst for growth. If you are ready to transform your perception of loneliness and achieve your goals using your alone time, then welcome to The Art of Being Alone.
