This book gives practical advice for connecting with others and finding fulfilling relationships. I love how the chapters are organized, beginning with why loneliness can be so crippling, how to pull yourself out of it, and how to cultivate healthy and meaningful relationships and friendships.

Each chapter ends with a page of affirmations and encouraging sentences that you can claim as your own life lesson or mantra. Instead of just a book that “tells” you about loneliness, there are meditations, activities, and journal prompts that get you involved in the process of finding freedom from loneliness. These steps are truly helpful! So many of the things in this book would help the reader to heal from past hurts, and look to the future with hope.
I liked the relatable writing style. It is not condescending, but meets the reader in their everyday lives at the basic human level where we all feel emotions and pain and longing. The advice is excellent and I enjoyed how the information is organized in a logical way that is easy to follow from point to point.

Reading this book showed me some places where I am doing better than I thought in my relationships, and other places where I could work a little more on being a better friend.
