Composed in one of TSoL's most curious concepts, with sincere photos and stories of humans who express the theme, in this case, loneliness, On Lonelines is another great addition to the collection.
I view and/or purchase these books in print after reviewing them, and the print versions offer an excellently inspiring experience.

I visited The School of Life shop in London a number of years ago after reading various books and essays. I was impressed by the products related to personal growth and therapy. It’s for this reason that I was very keen to read this book.

It most definitely made me think more about loneliness in today's society, as well as the numerous reasons behind people's feelings of isolation. Reasons such as illness, bereavement, refugee status, ethnicity, working patterns, and neurodiversity were mentioned, among many others. I appreciated the layout of the book and the photos of the contributors.

This book made me feel emotional and really highlighted the importance of everyday kindness and empathy. As connection can feel so inaccessible, it's important to remember how many small acts can make a huge difference to a person's everyday life. I received a free advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

I think everyone feels a little bit lonely at some point in life I know I have. Very pleased to see a book addressing this issue I know it will help a lot of people.
