Book Synopsis A History of Solitude by : David Vincent
Download or read book A History of Solitude written by David Vincent and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solitude has always had an ambivalent status: the capacity to enjoy being alone can make sociability bearable, but those predisposed to solitude are often viewed with suspicion or pity. Drawing on a wide array of literary and historical sources, David Vincent explores how people have conducted themselves in the absence of company over the last three centuries. He argues that the ambivalent nature of solitude became a prominent concern in the modern era. For intellectuals in the romantic age, solitude gave respite to citizens living in ever more complex modern societies. But while the search for solitude was seen as a symptom of modern life, it was also viewed as a dangerous pathology: a perceived renunciation of the world, which could lead to psychological disorder and anti-social behaviour. Vincent explores the successive attempts of religious authorities and political institutions to manage solitude, taking readers from the monastery to the prisoner’s cell, and explains how western society’s increasing secularism, urbanization and prosperity led to the development of new solitary pastimes at the same time as it made traditional forms of solitary communion, with God and with a pristine nature, impossible. At the dawn of the digital age, solitude has taken on new meanings, as physical isolation and intense sociability have become possible as never before. With the advent of a so-called loneliness epidemic, a proper historical understanding of the natural human desire to disengage from the world is more important than ever. The first full-length account of its subject, A History of Solitude will appeal to a wide general readership.

Book Synopsis Endnote: Anxietised Reflections from Isolation, And Considering the 'New Normal' by : Christopher Nosnibor
Download or read book Endnote: Anxietised Reflections from Isolation, And Considering the 'New Normal' written by Christopher Nosnibor and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the moment, this present moment - a moment which has been held, suspended, stretched out for what feels like an eternity - the prospect of closure feels impossible. The prospect of a return to normality is as terrifying as the prospect of never returning, of never fully rebuilding the connections with friends and society more broadly. And in considering this, I've become quite intrigued by the psychology of lockdown, the effects of this enforced separation mentally and behaviourally. Following on from Covoid Cut-Ups, which saw the author delve into the obfuscating language of the British government, Nosnibor ventures inwards to explore what he refers to as the 'psychological spasm' of life in lockdown, in a quest to uncover the universal within the personal.

Download or read book She I Dare Not Name written by Donna Ward and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astonishing. Luminous. A book about being human. She I Dare Not Name is a compelling collection of fiercely intelligent, deeply intimate, lyrical reflections on the life of a woman who stands on the threshold between two millennia. Both manifesto and confession, this moving memoir explores the meaning and purpose Donna Ward discovered in a life lived entirely without a partner and children. The book describes what it is like to live on the edge of a world built in the shape of couples and families. Rippling through these pages is the way a spinster - or a bachelor, or any of us for that matter - contends with the prejudice and stigma of being different. With courage and astounding honesty Donna uncovers the challenge of living with more solitude than anticipated and what it is like to walk the road through midlife and beyond alone. And she reveals how she found home and discovered herself within it. Funny, sharp, wise and wry, She I Dare Not Name shows how reading saved this spinster's life, and how friends and writing and walking brought a contentment and sense of achievement she never thought possible. 'With a devastatingly clear-eyed honesty, the word Ward dares to name is "spinster", and this meditative collection of essays spin their own spell, making a deep dive into the world of female solitude in all its guises. She lays it out like a calm tarot reading: feminism, courage, silence, loneliness, grief, recovery and the power of the generative idea, as well as all the labels that come with carving out your own path of self-definition and self-determination.' - Cate Kennedy, author of The World Beneath
Book Synopsis Quarantine Reflections by : Obioma Osae-Brown
Download or read book Quarantine Reflections written by Obioma Osae-Brown and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas come from unexpected moments of inactivity. The pandemic created lots of free time to ponder and wonder, and often the mind was plagued with thoughts. The inspiration came from Facebook’s caption page, “What’s on your mind?.” Initially, it started as simple quotes, a few “likes” and comments, but grew into “Quarantine Reflections.” The editing and photography for the book was done by my son, Jordan who had just finished a study abroad program at Osaka University, Japan, and graduated with a B.A. from University of California, Riverside. It was a great way of inculcating the values of engagement, resilience, and vision. The pandemic has brought the toughest challenge in a generation, but has also brought the greatest stories of heroism, resiliency, camaraderie, and human dependency. As you ponder on the various thoughts in this book, it is hoped you will find, feel, and dwell on the things that influence us as humans, or the mantras to build character, integrity, and passion. The charge is to seize every opportunity in life as a call to make a difference.

Book Synopsis The paradox of solitude and loneliness by : Cordula Reimann
Download or read book The paradox of solitude and loneliness written by Cordula Reimann and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you enjoy being alone? Are you often lonely? Regardless of how you answer these questions, I would like to offer you some new ways of seeing them. A conscious and mindful life and experience of solitude is the best way to prevent loneliness. Based on interviews with 150 people worldwide as well as current findings from international research on loneliness and results from philosophy, sociology and political science, this book encourages you to embrace and appreciate solitude and loneliness as important companions in life. Solitude is an important process and resource that enables us to become aware of our own wishes, fears and needs. By better understanding how to be alone, we can develop healthier and more self-determined ways of living and more effectively manage our own loneliness. But solitude and loneliness are not only personal feelings and states of mind but also social and political phenomena. How we as a society deal with both says a lot about us as post-modern society and about our values and human needs for connection and belonging, not only in times of Corona. Thus, the book also explores government responses to loneliness, and new initiatives for living lives in which solitude and loneliness are recast as key aspects of being human.

Book Synopsis Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Book Synopsis I Am With You Always by : Siobhan O'Keeffe
Download or read book I Am With You Always written by Siobhan O'Keeffe and published by Messenger Publications. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern life can be lonely. Moreover, modern life can make it feel as if you are the only one who is lonely. Across all of society people are becoming more isolated from one another, spending much of their social life on the internet. The diversity of our experience of loneliness is erased by the glamour and noise of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. In I Am With You Always Siobhán O'Keeffe reminds us that we are never alone. Our relationship with God is a tether that holds to us through periods of loneliness in our lives and which links us to millions of other people –whether new mother, bullied child, conflicted soldier or overworked surgeon – whose experience and struggle with loneliness is similar. I Am With You Always includes a guide to loneliness in Scripture and a series of reflections on how loneliness is experienced across contemporary society.
