Publisher's Summary

This book is a treasure trove of things to do when alone and/or isolated. With the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the need to regulate your social activity is being taken more seriously.

Are you feeling lonely, or do you know someone who is? If so, this book's for you!

You're invited to get to know the Loner Movement and the Loner Culture better.

There could be over a billion adults worldwide who are alone. If you're one, we hope you're enjoying it as much as we are. If not, this book could show you why you may be a lot better off alone, at least temporarily, than you realize.

We spend a lot of time alone. You're likely alone showering, writing, working around the home, napping, driving, maybe when sleeping at night, etc. Usually, we enjoy being alone, but trauma can break that tranquility.

Humans are pack animals, and the life of a hermit is not only difficult, but not recommended. Most need to work in association with others to meet obligations and acquire income. You have friends, neighbors, family, associates, etc. Still, you're likely better off alone than in life's many high-maintenance relationships.

This book can show how most unaccompanied (alone) people might be better off. It can also help listeners let go of bad relationships and social agendas that could harm them. If you know people who are feeling melancholy due to a breakup, this could be a particularly good gift book to get them.
