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

Just finished reading this. The author seems to have experienced loneliness and have found ways to cope with it. She talks about solitude, getting to know yourself, turning the period of loneliness into personal development. She also talks about getting rid of parasites (people who are only with you for a gain only). Her writing skills can be improved. She made the effort of convey her message and self-published this book. My understanding is that this was her second book. She has come a long way, and I think she is an inspiration.

Made me feel amazing. I have whole new outlook on life. A beautiful read. I will be looking out for more books from this Author

I enjoyed this book. Really took note of some gems that will stay with me for a long time. Put yourself first, always.

I'm alone while reading this book and I was already living in perfect harmony with myself before picking the book and most of what she said is what I'm already practicing consciously or unconsciously. I picked up many things also - especially to turn my solitude into growth. Thank you, Rakuna. "Most knowledge is simply transforming the unconscious to conscious"

this is my favourite self help book ive read so far! i feel as if i don’t even need to read another self help book anymore after reading this! As someone who has struggled to be alone. This book has helped me become best friends with myself, develop that loving relationship with myself. i don’t feel the need to force others for company or to be apart of my life. i’m happy enjoying my own life. learning new fun hobbies, and being at peace with myself :D

Thought it was poor written and not really informative. Read half of it and will finish.. maybe the second half is better than the first.

This book is incredible It will help us to love ourself and understand ourself and a lot.

Easy and nice reading.There are good sentences in the book,which get you thinking.It didn’t really get me from the beginning,but I am glad I keep reading.

this book is specially for those who are very depressed broken and being alone in life is to encourage and make urself a lone wolf who can stand alone strong and youthful,i read this and learned lessons its worth reading and learning everyday is a new day to learn and learn good luck

if u want find yourself, u should read this fantastic book Chapter about do things with yourself not with others was the best

Was I the targeted Audience no. But from reading the book if you want to find yourself it was a grt book.

I really like how Renuka puts the steering wheel in your hand and asks you to drive the car (your life). Simple in the context it doesn't sell you hacks or methodology, just a reminder that aloneness is the gateway to meeting and becoming ineffably You. I recommend this book to teens and young adults although as a single woman in her mid 40s I enjoyed the short read.

Worth every read!
