Description
- Many of us now lead lives of strangely crowded isolation: we are always linked, but only shallowly so.
- The ability to be alone, properly alone, is one of life's subtlest skills. Real solitude is a powerful resource we can call upon
- a crucial ingredient for a rich interior life. It inspires reflection, allows creativity to flourish,
- and improves our relationships with ourselves and, unexpectedly, with others.
- Idle hands can, in fact, produce the extraordinary. In living bigger and faster, we have forgotten the joys of silence,
- and undervalued how profoundly it can revolutionize our lives.
- This book is about discovering stillness inside the city, inside the crowd, inside our busy lives.
- With wit and energy, award-winning author Michael Harris weaves captivating true stories with reporting from the world's foremost brain researchers,
- psychologists, and tech entrepreneurs to guide us toward a state of measured connectivity that balances quiet and companionship.
- Solitude is a beautiful and convincing statement on the transformative power of being alone.
