Why is this so when autonomy, personal freedom and individualism are more highly prized than ever before?Sara Maitland answers this question by exploring changing attitudes throughout history. Offering experiments and strategies for overturning our fear of solitude, she helpsus to practise it without anxiety and encourages us to seethe benefits of spending time by ourselves.
