Description
Being alone has a serious branding issue. We've only ever had negative language to talk about flying solo- but what about when time spent alone is restorative and joyful? What if it's something you crave? Francesca Specter's empowering new word to express valuing your own company and dedicating quality time to yourself, whoever you are and whatever your relationship status.
Between shared homes, social plans and smartphone addictions, most of us don't know how to be alone - yet our life-long relationship with ourselves is the most important one we'll ever have. A reformed 'extreme extrovert' who struggled to spend even an hour on her own, Francesca made the resolution in January 2019 to improve her solitude skills. A year later, facing months of lockdown as a household-of-one, she valued those skills more than ever - and began sharing her wisdom with others on how to cherish time alone. ,Packed with practical tips, insights from key experts and lessons from guests of the Alonement podcast- including Alain de Botton, Florence Given and Konnie Hug- Francesca reveals how we can all thrive alone, whatever our circumstances, and harness the untapped power of some meaningful time with me, myself and I. back cover.
