The practice of living and being alone is a growing, global phenomenon fed in part by the isolation that social media and technology can bring, as well as by many individuals opting to remain single for longer. This beautiful and timely book analyzes the trend by first explaining the difference between loneliness and being alone. It offers practical strategies for going out alone—dining out, visiting an exhibition, or traveling, for example—and examines how introspection can present opportunities for self-discovery and building self-esteem, ultimately fostering greater happiness and fulfillment. With practical, psychological, and inspirational support, Honjok will help those embarking on their own solo adventure embrace solitude and independence with confidence.
