Synopsis:
""Even a small positive action will help combat the feeling of isolation."
Loneliness affects us all; to a lesser or greater degree, and in very different ways, but none of us, no matter how "outgoing" we are, can be entirely immune to it. For some, in fact, it is a lifelong struggle. But there are things - small and progressive - that we can all do to combat this oppressive feeling. The texts in this book, illustrated with evocative images of friendly animals, are like little therapeutic fables that illustrate, with reflections and intimations, how we can recognize, understand and destigmatize loneliness, and learn to live (very) well in our company."
Opinion:
I was completely unaware of this book, I decided to buy it because I identified with it (of course, I had already taken a peek at it, who never? 🤭 It was a book that touched me so I won't dwell too much on my review.
It is a book that deals with loneliness, how it can affect us from childhood, through youth, adulthood and finally old age. It's a very simple book, with short texts and illustrations allusive to the feeling of loneliness at any stage of life, it's very easy to read, it has 224 pages and its literary genre is personal development and self-help.
I think all of us at some stage in life have felt lonely, I don't mean that loneliness that is ours, that space that we need to have to be alone, but the other loneliness that is known to depress us and make us think about life.
Sometimes when we are children we just want attention, needed and deserved, we depend on it, even for our own development and also for social development, and when this doesn't happen they always think what is wrong with themselves, they feel invisible to others, they may be shy and not have the ability or even the courage to approach others for fear of being teased, or criticized, they think they are a burden to others and isolate themselves, and mind you this happens in childhood as well as in all other stages of life.
We don't need many friends, but we all need someone we know we can count on at any moment, whether it's joy or sorrow, someone who will listen to us and be understanding and not judge us, no matter how far away that person is, and sometimes the fact that we know someone is there is enough to not feel so alone.
Both lonelinesses are necessary but each thing has its own time.
