Loneliness

Written long before the flood of shallow self-help books that engulf us today, this slim volume remains one of the finest explorations of loneliness I've ever read. More philosophy than psychology -- a meditation on the state of loneliness -- it's written in a personal tone, one that invites the reader into a warm circle of understanding. There's nothing maudlin or cheaply sentimental here, no superficial quick fixes or allegedly spiritual steps to follow. It's written to make you think as deeply as you feel, to look at loneliness clearly, and to enable you to recognize the loneleness of others -- which is not unlike our own, is it?

Again, if you're used to contemporary self-help books, you may be startled to find this is nothing like them. It's written for intelligent, thoughtful human beings who are willing to give up the comforting womb of ego self-pity, and discover something worthwhile meaningful in the cold darkness that often surrounds us. The more you read it, the more you realize that the last thing in the world it's about is, "me, me, me." But it may well help you to discover You -- a more mature You, a little closer to wholeness than before. It definitely deserve to be in print once more -- highly recommended!
