The Art of Being Alone: Loneliness Was My Cage, Solitude Is My Home (English)

I love this book. The book is relatable and eye opener for me. Book written in very simple language 👍

Tbh from past days I am feeling emotional roller coaster lost of questions and I don’t have answer even I feel I am the wrong person or treating myself wrongly. I am confused like I am think for myself I am doing big mistake. Lots of confusion like I do for others and I think for myself. No balance at all. Lately I took decisions keeping my self as priority and I am feeling guilt. Today I was scrolling Instagram and I somehow long time back want to read books but I don’t have money to buy expensive books. So I scroll them in reels but then one reel come up in that this book is there on bed it grabs my attention and I search on it. I buy kindle version and spent my 5-6 hours reading it from morning. I just completed it. And now I have lots of clarity in my mind. This art clearly reached out to me. I learned this not completely but somewhat. And I will read this again and again. I really love this book. And this is my first book of life which I read. Thank you Renuka you are really really a one of those good writers who actually connects with readers.

I bought this in the month of April just in a whim because I wanted to try something new. My eyes landed on this book. I came to know about Renuka Gavrani who's an Indian author. A very new one into the writers' world. If you are seeing the reviews then it means you're uncertain whether you should invest on this or not. So, I'll keep it in points for you so that you can decide whether you should buy this book or not. 1) The book cover. It's fresh, sleek and minimalistic. The front cover image is taken from a company I think. One of the reputed companies who sell their stock images. However, even being simple the cover is really appealing. The quality of the pages were good too. I don't regret my investment. The text font is big enough and easily readable. The font style is good too. So, 1 star for this. ⭐ 2) The book is about loneliness. How people with no friends live in the society. How introverts feel when they have no friends. It tells you about how you should turn your alone time into your growth time. You being alone isn't loneliness. Loneliness is when you can't find yourself. I loved this quote. The author tells you how to cope up with the remarks you get from people and how to spend your alone time without overthinking. She tells you how you should remain unaffected by society's ill behaviour towards you. Funny thing is - I'm not even an introvert. I'm an ambivert. :⁠-⁠P However, I don't agree with her in certain points. She went to a little 'extreme' side of the loneliness while exploring!? According to her, a person can do anything alone and one doesn't need any people around him/her. I find this incorrect. People need people to exist. Imagine yourself in a world where there are no people. Just you alone. Would you survive? I don't think so. At a certain point, you would probably go crazy. We need people around us. The thing which I agreed with her is that how you can utilise your alone time for your growth. And, how to live alone if you're moving out of your town for your job or any other purpose. That's the point where she shines. Also, the book isn't very long. It won't tell you same thing time and again to make you feel annoyed and irritated. If you have time, you can even finish it in a day's read. It's hardly around 120 pages. (Counting only the ones which should be read.) Again, one star for this. ⭐ 3) The author is very young. She might be younger than me or the same age as mine. It's not an easy decision to be an author when you're coming from India. Not indicating that being an author in India is hard. Just hinting that the public tend to go for medical, engineering fields more generally. (Which isn't good tbh.) So, amidst this she found her field and decided what she has to do is laudable enough. One star for her wonderful journey ahead. ⭐ 4) The language is super easy. She wrote it in a very easy manner. You won't face any sort of problems while reading it. The writing style is catchy and it draws you in. Simple yet elegant. ⭐ 5) Here comes my last star which I didn't give it to her. The writing style is indeed very pleasing. However, being a not so experienced writer comes with the cost too. She's at a stage where she's learning. And, she has what not to see in this huge world. So, a little amateurish vibe is there in the writing style. By the way this is coming from a reader who has read more than 50+ books including self-help books and the fantasy ones as well. I can definitely say that writing style right now needs to be polished. I will leave an image for you to see how the writing style can tell you about the age of the author. She needs to focus on her writing. The more she'll write the better she'll become. There are sentences and words which shows that it's written by a young author. No problems with that. She's in a growing stage. More power to her. May her writing style get more refined and polished. Dear author, you must snatch this last one star from me in your any other upcoming books. But for now, I'll keep this with me. ;⁠) Conclusion? Buy it if you want to explore something new. We should support our young authors. She has potential. The book isn't very expensive too. And, it certainly delivers the content on which it's written on.

Very good quality product

It comes in great condition not a single page was diffected

Very good book as it shares about the life of a person who is an introvert, who can understand their pain and who is more confused about themself present in the real world situations. This book motivates us so much on how to handle ourselves in our whole life journey.
