Why is this so when autonomy, personal freedom and individualism are more highly prized than ever before? Sara Maitland answers this question by exploring changing attitudes throughout history. Offering experiments and strategies for overturning our fear of solitude, she to helps us to practice it without anxiety and encourages us to see the benefits of spending time by ourselves. By indulging in the experience of being alone, we can be inspired to find our own rewards and ultimately lead more enriched, fuller live."--

Quite an interesting take on something we all forgot in this century. I really liked and learned quite a thing or two from this book, and it made me want to get out of my comfort zone and try to spend some alone time. Still I was expecting a bit more but can't tell exactly what.
