Alonement

Just because you are alone, it doesn’t mean that you are lonely. Such is the premise behind Specter’s fascinating book, both a celebration and a practical guide towards how to make being by yourself work for you. * i news *
A hugely generous and thoughtful book which reminds us of the distinction between loneliness on the one hand and solitude on the other - and emphasises the dignity and adventure of a life lived on one’s own terms * Alain de Botton *
A kind, wise celebration of solo living - a joyous invitation to make your own declaration of independence * Daisy Buchanan *
Thoughtful and thought provoking, it made me genuinely excited about spending time in my own company * Felicity Cloake *
