Summary
How to be alone and absolutely own it, by founder of the Alonement blog and podcast Francesca Specter.
Being alone has a serious branding issue. We've only ever had negative language to talk about flying solo - but what about when time spent alone is restorative and joyful? What if it's something you crave? What if it's even just an hour you've carved out yourself in the middle of a hectic week?
Enter: alonement, Francesca Specter's empowering new word to express valuing your own company and carving out time to spend with yourself, whoever you are and whatever your relationship status.
Between open-plan offices, two-for-one vouchers and co-habiting with partners and friends, most of us don't know how to be alone - yet our life-long relationship with ourselves is the most important one we'll ever have. A reformed 'extreme extrovert' who struggled to spend even an hour alone, Francesca made the resolution in January 2019 to improve her solitude skills. Having spent two months of lockdown by herself, Francesca knows better than most how to optimise the quality of time spent alone.
Packed with practical tips, insights from key experts and lessons from guests of the Alonement podcast - including Alain de Botton, Florence Given, Konnie Huq and Camilla Thurlow - Francesca reveals how we can all thrive alone, whatever our circumstances, and harness the untapped power of some meaningful time with me, myself and I.

Wish I’d read this sooner!
This book has been inspirational to me and I just wish I’d have read it sooner. It’s totally changed my perspective on time alone and I’m so much better, calmer and happier for it!

I wish I had listened to this a long time ago!
I would recommend this audiobook to everybody, no matter your relationship status. It has been an absolute revelation for me, who has, until now, always hated spending time alone. I wish I had come across it sooner!

Inspiring and welcoming
Loved this so much, it opened me up to a brand new perspective and allowed me to acknowledge that when I enjoy my time alone (alonement) that it isn't something to be sneered at or worried about but something to be filly embraced and enjoyed. the book felt inspiring and welcoming and like reading a big hug of support and understanding. With lots of things to try and lots take away.
