This was a quick read but it was thought provoking.

The originality shined through for me. It didn’t feel like another cookie cutter self-help book at all. Made me feel quite calm, collected and motivated after reading.

The whole thing was educational and I spent my entire afternoon glued to the words.Book recommendation to be read!!

Overall gave some good advice. I myself have always been a lowkey loner. I’ve always enjoyed my time alone. For me it’s more of a family loneliness rather than friendships or acquaintances. And honestly I always do what I want or don’t want to do. So the book gives good advice I just want think most of it is just common sense on how to navigate through a lonely life. I know the author is young so really no criticism on my part.

I didn’t even know this book would help as much as it did. On paper my life should be good, I have a loving husband, a beautiful 1 year old, a job and family that loves me. However, recently I’ve been feeling so unlike myself and so depressed. All of the horrible things I’ve ever done seemed to haunt me when I actually had a moment to myself. I would exhaust myself constantly to not have to face myself and my inner thoughts. I didn’t realize all of my coping mechanisms were trying to stop me from being myself and forgiving myself, because that’s what I’ve been doing the last 10 years. Yes, I have real stressors in life financially, emotionally, but I could finally face those things and take a deep breath for the first time in a while. My head felt quiet and not chaotic. 100% recommend this book, it’s helped me feel myself for the first time since I was a kid.

Great to read for those who need to know that they can be alone

This is a great book about accepting that being alone does not equal loneliness. I learned to embrace solitude as a gift and not a burden.
