Too many of us are tethered to the expectations of other people, living with the feeling that we need to look outside ourselves to feel whole and loved, that we need to keep “the mask” on and hide who we really are; we listen to book after book, see therapist after therapist, take course after course, all with the intent to “fix what’s broken,” sending us on a quest to continuously solve a problem that isn’t real with a solution that doesn’t exist. And it leaves us dissatisfied, constantly wanting more. The secret is, we’re not broken; we are healing.

This book is a love letter to anyone and everyone who’s ever felt the slow burning sting of being alone and wondered what the hell to do about it. The relationship we have with our Self is the foundation upon which all other relationships are built, so why are we so afraid of being alone? Alone: The Truth + Beauty of Belonging explores that question and reexamines everything we know and feel about being alone, lonely, or in solitude - in our work, family, friendships, and love.
