Stephanie Rosenbloom, Books, Religion and Spirituality, Alone Time: Four Seasons, Four Cites, And The Pleasures Of Solitude, A wise, passionate account of the pleasures of travelling soloIn our increasingly frantic daily lives, many people are genuinely fearful of the prospect of solitude, but time alone can be both rich and restorative, especially when travelling. Through on-the-ground reporting and recounting the experiences of artists, writers, and explorers who cherished solitude, Stephanie Rosenbloom considers how being alone as a traveller--or even in one's own city--is conducive to becoming acutely aware of the sensual details of the world--patterns, textures, colors, tastes, sounds--in ways that are impossible to do when you're in the company of others. Alone Time is divided into four parts, each set in a different city, in a different season, in a single year. The destinations--Paris, Istanbul, Florence, New York--are all pedestrian-friendly, which enables travelers to slow down and appreciate casual pleasures instead of hurtling through museums and uploading photos to Instagram. Each section spotlights a different theme associated with the pleasures and benefits of solitude and how it can enable people to enrich their lives--facilitating creativity, learning, self-reliance, as well as the ability to change and to heal. Rosenbloom incorporates insights from sociologists and cultural anthropologists who have studied solitude, as well accounts of people who have become virtual scholars of solitude by choosing a life alone, and explores such topics as dining alone, getting lost, learning how to see, and finding or creating silent spaces. Her engaging and elegant prose makes Alone Time as warmly intimate an account as the details of a trip shared by a beloved friend--and will have its many readers eager to set off on their own solo adventures.
