I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This book is a must read simply because it defines what solitude is and isn’t. I learned a lot about myself from it. Many believe that being an introvert means that you always enjoy solitude, but this book explores the ways that different people can enjoy solitude in different ways and in different amounts of time. It gives great advice on how to better embrace solitude, and gives comfort that it is OK to enjoy solitude. I will be referring to things I learned from this book many times in the future, whether it’s among friends or with my job.

This was a very good book. It was well-written. I would highly recommend this book. It's very easy to read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This book discusses the many aspects of solitude. It is well-researched and easy to read. I especially enjoyed his enthusiasm for healthy solitude. I think quality alone time is something we need to balance out our busy lives. I would recommend this book. It is packed with information.

For those new to the topic, everything you ever needed to know about solitude - definition, benefits, challenges, studies. Though he presents research, this is a book for the layperson and reads easily. Some chapters may feel like more than you needed to know so it might make sense to not read every page.
