Book Description
"To be alone is to be different. To be different is to be alone, and to be in the interior of this fatal circle is to be lonely. To be lonely is to have failed" (Susan Schultz, 1976) Loneliness carries a significant social stigma, as lack of friendship and social ties is socially undesirable, and social perceptions of lonely people are generally unfavourable. Lonely people often have very negative self-perceptions, believing that the inability to establish social ties is due to personal inadequacies or socially undesirable attributes. This book is divided into three parts. The first part reviews loneliness in general, describing what it is and how it affects us. The second part examines loneliness throughout the life cycle, analysing how it affects us in childhood, adulthood and as we age. The final part explores the connection between loneliness and other conditions such as arthritis, eating disorders and depression. Loneliness Updated offers the latest research on how loneliness can affect us in our daily lives, and how it is expressed as we travel through life from childhood to old age. It will be a highly interesting read for scholars, students and researchers of clinical psychology, particularly those interested in further exploring the effects and consequences of loneliness. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Psychology.

Book Description
Loneliness Has an Antidote: The Feeling of Closeness Loneliness isn’t something that happens only when we are physically alone. It can also happen when we are with people. Online friends, followers, or “likers” don’t necessarily add up to much when you crave fulfilling interaction, and satisfying, long-term relationships are not a mystery to be left up to chance (or technology). The good news is that, according to relationship coach Kira Asatryan, loneliness has a reliable antidote: the feeling of closeness. We can and should cultivate closeness in our relationships using the steps outlined in this book: knowing, caring, and mastering closeness. Whether with romantic partners, friends, family members, or business colleagues, these techniques will help you establish true closeness with others. The simple and straightforward actions Asatryan presents in this wonderfully practical book will guide you toward better relationships and less loneliness in all social contexts.

Book Description
When a wonderful new book arrives at the library, at first it is loved by all, checked out constantly, and rarely spends a night on the library shelf. But over time it grows old and worn, and the children lose interest in its story. The book is sent to the library's basement where the other faded books live. How it eventually finds an honored place on a little girl's bookshelf—and in her heart—makes for an unforgettable story sure to enchant anyone who has ever cherished a book. Kate Bernheimer and Chris Sheban have teamed up to create a picture book that promises to be loved every bit as much as the lonely book itself.

Book Description
There is a particular flavor to the loneliness that comes from living in a city, surrounded by thousands of strangers. This roving cultural history of urban loneliness centers on the ultimate city: Manhattan, that teeming island of gneiss, concrete, and glass. How do we connect with other people, particularly if our sexuality or physical body is considered deviant or damaged? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens? Laing travels deep into the work and lives of some of the century's most original artists in a celebration of the state of loneliness.

Book Description
Taking an eraser to loneliness will not erase it. Trying to drink loneliness away will not quench its thirst. Shaming loneliness will not disempower it. In The Gospel of Loneliness, author and pastor Dwight Wolter offers the encouragement that loneliness is an exploration and a teacher to make room for—not to avoid. Wolter examines the expressions of loneliness in our lives: revisiting biblical stories and fables, listening to pop music, studying its dynamic in the pews, and exploring the future of artificial companionship.

Book Description
FEEL ALIVE AND CONNECTED ONCE AGAIN! Lonely No More: The Astonishing Power of Inner Bonding takes the reader on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and personal transformation, exploring the often-conflicting relationship between the false beliefs of the ego wounded self, how those false beliefs leave a person lonely and disconnected, and how to achieve true spiritual connection. Through engaging narratives and practical exercises, this book offers valuable insights into achieving a balanced, fulfilling relationship with both the self and the Divine. Throughout the book, I explore various spiritual principles and misconceptions that often hinder individuals from accessing the ever-present love and wisdom that is here for all of us. By debunking common myths, I equip readers with the tools and knowledge needed to break free from limiting beliefs and foster spiritual growth. Here’s a sampling of what you will learn: The difference between getting and sharing love. The difference between self-responsibility and self-sacrifice. The difference tween our true soul self and our ego wounded self. A road map for healing loneliness by promoting self-awareness, inner healing and personal responsibility. Healing other related conditions like anxiety, depression, shame, addictions and relationship problems. The opposite of loneliness is not a never-ending blissful, happy, problem-free state. It is feeling alive and connected once again. The ability to feel deeply, to express the gamut of one’s emotions in a healthy way, and to connect to yourself, others and life overall to address challenges and triumphs in a way that says “yes” to life, is the goal of this book.
