The Art of Being ALONE: Solitude Is My HOME, Loneliness Was My Cage Paperback – May 17, 2023

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

This was a quick read but it was thought provoking.

The author is wise beyond her years. I could tell she was young by her word choices and references. I enjoy reading this book. She gets specific about what it means to sit with yourself and love yourself.That said, the book needs a good editor. There are a number of sentences with extra or repetitive words. Self publishers take note: Hire an editor to avoid silly mistakes!

I’d been looking for a book about “how to be alone and love it” and this book was perfect! I can’t wait to take the actions Renuka suggests!

I hope this isn't the content we'll expect as gen-z grows up and begins contributuing to the world. The content was shallow, very little practical steps outside of "accept yourself"; just another self-absorbed 20-something that thinks she knows the world because she took a trip to bali that one time. I can't tell that she has any practical training in the subject or otherwise qualified to give advice. I do not recommend this book unless you're in a "eat pray love" situation and need a little help to get to your self-important breakthroughs. Otherwise keep searching for advice from more qualified authors.

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.

Wonderful book for anyone who chooses or due to circumstances are living alone.Very introspective and encouraging!
