Loneliness Books For A Deeper Insight

Look through any bookstore or the pages of Amazon

, and loneliness books likely take up a considerable potion of the shelf space. We all suffer from loneliness to some degree, and the immense popularity of loneliness books is testament to how much we all yearn to be free from its grasp.

Loneliness is one of the most deviating feelings that any human being has to go through, which makes it all the more vexing how seemingly little we can do to prevent such feelings from occurring. We are all familiar with the traditional advice given to "get out more" or to "not dwell on things too much". Although such time-worn bits of advice-often dispensed by well meaning friends and family members-can and do work to some degree, they aren't always effective for someone who is suffering from a full-blown case of loneliness. In such people, the loneliness is often accompanied by feelings of severe depression, and the combined results of these negative emotions cleaning and maintenance be quite distressing indeed.

No matter how hopeless your situation may seem however, there is always a solution-a silver lining if you will. For your particular situation, you may be able to find a way out by reading one or both of the loneliness books that we review here. Providing a keen insight into one of the most tragic emotions any human ever has to face, these loneliness books may give you comfort when there seems to be no alternative left but to wallow in your own loneliness.

First off is Thomas Dumm's Loneliness as a Way of Life. Published by Harvard University Press, the 208-page book is a quiet, contemplative piece of work that takes an in-depth look at the alarming extent of self-preoccupation that many lonely people go through. One of the few loneliness books that tackle the issue of loneliness in such an unflinching and somber manner, Loneliness as a Way of Life can be a bit difficult to read, especially if you are struggling with the grip of loneliness yourself.

In the book, the author likens the lonely to refugees seeking to get away from others, and as strangers to their own selves. The author also goes on to explore in detail how the isolation of the lonely results in a severe and sometimes debilitating doubt in everyone and everything.

Loneliness books can quickly degenerate into a morass of self-pitying and morose accounts of the extent of depression, and Loneliness is not much different. Painful to read in some parts and unflinching in most others, this book is definitely not for the fainthearted. However, it does redeem itself somewhat in its stance that loneliness "matters profoundly" in political sense. One of the most compelling loneliness books on the market, Loneliness as a Way of Life is definitely well worth checking out.

One of the most popular loneliness books in recent years is Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection. Written by John Cacioppo and William Patrick, the book takes on a decidedly Shakespearean approach to exploring loneliness in all its forms. Unlike many other loneliness books in which no hope is to be found in the situation, Loneliness is refreshing in its optimism, making it one of the few loneliness books that provide a lasting solution.
