Sara Maitland

In a culture that cherishes individualism and freedom, embracing solitude shouldn't be intimidating. Solitude brings plentiful rewards and pleasures. It allows self-discovery, fosters a connection with nature, and boosts creativity. Begin with easy and straightforward steps. If you're considering having some alone time but aren't sure how to initiate, consider extending an activity you already enjoy, such as cycling or visiting your favorite café. Try to extend this activity by 15 to 30 minutes, concentrating on your personal experience. Even though you may be in the company of others, you'll find tranquility in your solitude.

De quoi s'agit-il ?

In today's society, where social interactions are paramount, we often find little time for solitude, and may be unprepared for moments when we need to be alone. However, "How to Be Alone" (2014) suggests that solitude should not be feared, but rather embraced for the numerous benefits and pleasures it can offer. Embrace solitude without fear, venture out on your own!

“Our children are not happy. I believe this is because over the last half century we have increasingly monitored, supervised and attended to them, and pampered their supposedly frail egos.”

“You can have a failed quest, but you can't have an achieved quest and no reward.”

“We know that solitude is almost a necessity for creativity and the development of a genuinely and richly autonomous sense of identity.”
