Description
In a world where constant connection and crowds have become the norm, true solitude has become increasingly hard to find. Michael Harris explores why our hyper-connected society makes time alone more crucial than ever.
This timely and important book delves into the latest neuroscience to examine how innovations like Google Maps and Facebook are eroding our ability to be by ourselves. Harris also tells the stories of remarkable individuals who managed to find solitude in unexpected places, and explores how it can bring clarity and creativity to each of our inner lives.
Urgent, eloquent and beautifully argued, Solitude challenges us to rethink our relationship with being alone. A thought-provoking journey into the benefits of solo sojourning, this book is a poetic and contemplative exploration of what it means to be truly alone in a crowded world.
