About this book

Solitude becomes a way of examining the self in David Whyte’s reflections on familiar words. The opening discussion of being alone considers silence, self-criticism and the fear of abandonment, including the loneliness that can persist within close relationships. These short philosophical essays explore how language can draw attention to difficult feelings and change the stories people tell about themselves.
