About this listen

🎙 Bookish Mind | Season 06, Episode 02 – Join us as we explore Chapter 2: The Pain of Hiding Your True Self from Renuka Gavrani’s thought-provoking book The Art of Being Alone.
Discover how societal expectations and the fear of being labeled “different” force us to create a false version of ourselves — saying “yes” when we want to say “no” and silencing our inner voice.
We reveal how loneliness isn’t about lacking people around you, but about losing connection with your authentic self.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected even in a crowd, this episode will help you recognize the cost of hiding your true identity and guide you toward living authentically.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why authenticity is key to real connection

  • How fear of judgment shapes false identities

  • The link between loneliness and self-betrayal

  • Steps to reconnect with your true self

📚 Inspired by Renuka Gavrani’s The Art of Being Alone
