Synopsis:
Taylor Swift once remarked, ‘The scary news is, you are on your own now. But the cool news, you are on your own now.’
Ever since our childhood, we are taught to fear loneliness. We have learned that the kid who eats and sits alone and has no friends is a pathetic loser. Every book and movie portrays the kid with no friends as a weak character who needs to be saved. Of course, no one wants to come over as a “weirdo”, hence our fear of being alone. You don’t want people to think of you as an unwanted individual; you don’t want to be left out of the gang of cool kids. You don’t want people to think that no one chose you. So, what do you do?
Well, you start becoming an ideal version of someone whom everyone loves. And in the race to get people’s acceptance and love, you lose yourself. But what if someone told you it didn’t have to be like that? That’s what The Art of Being Alone by Renuka Gavrani is all about.
Divided into two sections, the first section is all about how we can transform loneliness into solitude. The second section is about how we can use our solitude to turn it into growth. Renuka Gavrani’s The Art of Being Alone is meant for anyone who is ready to metamorphose their perception of loneliness and achieve their goals by making the most of their “alone time”.
