"Ensamhetens århundrade är en fantastisk bok som berör oss alla! --- Boken vänder sig till alla som formar våra liv"BTJ
"Hisnande scener från ensamheten"DN
I Ensamhetens århundrade skildrar Noreena Hertz den växande ensamhetskrisen, hur pandemin förvärrade problemet och vad vi måste göra för att hålla samman i en värld som glider isär.
Känslor av isolering och främlingskap finns över hela världen oavsett ålder, kön, klass och inkomstgrupp. Människor känner sig alltmer frånkopplade – inte bara från varandra utan också från sina politiker, staten och sig själva. I Nederländerna säger 30 procent av de vuxna att de känner sig ensamma. I USA är siffran 40 procent, dubbelt så stor som på 1980-talet. I Tyskland anser två tredjedelar av befolkningen att ensamhet är ett allvarligt problem och i Storbritannien utsågs nyligen en ”ensamhetsminister”.
Noreena Hertz väver samman berättelser om hur olika kulturer reagerar på den växande ensamhetskrisen. Hon berättar om en kurs vid ett toppuniversitet i USA i hur man läser av andra människors ansiktsuttryck, testar på att ”hyra en vän” och rapporterar om den växande trenden med robotar som vårdare på äldreboenden i Japan. Hertz undersöker ensamhet genom en global, vidsträckt lins: från hur vi arbetar till vilken typ av relationer vi har, hon tittar på varför interpersonella färdigheter avtar och på de ekonomiska kostnaderna av ensamhet och de politiska effekterna av isolering. Men mer än så hjälper hon oss att hitta lösningar på problemen.

Kanske har du nyligen börjat känna dig ensam eller känt dig ensam och lite utanför en stor del av ditt liv. Kanske saknar du ett socialt nätverk eller lider av ensamhet trots att du har människor som bryr sig om dig. Ensamhet som inte är självvald är smärtsam. Ofta leder ensamhet till att onda cirklar uppstår som gör att självkänslan sjunker och att tankar om att andra inte vill vara med en blir starka. Men det går att ta sig ut ur ensamheten.
I Ut ur ensamheten hjälper den erfarna psykologen Martina Wolf-Arehult dig att reflektera över vilken form av ensamhet som skapar problem för dig och vilket behov av närhet och samhörighet just du har. Du får sedan ta del av olika strategier och förhållningssätt som kan hjälpa dig ut ur ensamheten, bland annat hur du:
• visar omvärlden att du är öppen för kontakt• skapar en känsla av trygghet• slutar jämföra och döma dig själv• hanterar social ångest• skapar värme och närhet i kontakten med andra• skapar mening• hittar en balans i hur mycket du vill anpassa dig till andras behov• visar vänlighet och omsorg gentemot dig själv.

Vi talar sällan om det, men vi är många som kan känna oss ensamma. Det kan vara en faktisk avsaknad av social samvaro eller en känsla av att inte bli sedd, förstådd och bekräftad av de människor man har runt omkring sig.Ensamhet bör beskrivas som en av vår tids folksjukdomar. Vi har skapat ett samhälle som fokuserar på individen oavsett hur det får oss att må, och inte sällan blir kostnaden stress, ensamhet och en känsla av tomhet. Samtidigt står såväl samhället som den drabbade ofta handfallna när det kommer till att åtgärda problemet. Hur gör man egentligen för att få nya vänner? Hur lever man med någon, och inte bara bredvid? Hur vågar man ta de där viktiga små stegen till en förändrad livssituation med större gemenskap?Anna Bennich, leg psykolog och leg psykoterapeut, möter många människor som kämpar med olika former av ensamhet. Här beskriver hon tillståndets olika uttryck, orsaker och effekter. Hon lyfter fram den senaste forskningen om relationernas betydelse för vår hälsa och ger handfasta tips och strategier för hur vi kan öka och fördjupa relationerna i våra liv. Hon lyfter även frågan om allas vårt gemensamma ansvar för att se och finnas till för varandra.

“My husband died, my life collapsed.”On a February morning, Joyce Carol Oates drove her ailing husband, Raymond Smith, to the Princeton Medical Center where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. In less than a week, Ray was dead and Joyce was faced – totally unprepared – with the reality of widowhood.In this beautiful and heart-breaking account, Joyce takes us through what it is to become a widow: the derangement of denial, the anguish of loss, the disorientation of the survivor and the solace of friendship. Acutely perceptive and intensely moving, A Widow’s Story is at once a truly personal account and an extraordinary and universal story of life and death, love and grief.

Passionate, independent-minded nonfiction from the international bestselling author of `The Corrections’.Jonathan Franzen's `Freedom’ was the literary sensation of 2010, whilst `The Corrections’ was the best-loved and most written-about novel the previous decade. `How to be Alone’, is a collection of the personal essays and painstaking, often humorous reportage that have earned Franzen a wide and loyal readership, including what has come to be known as 'The Harper's Essay', Franzen's controversial 1996 look at the fate of the novel. From the sex-advice industry to the way a supermax prison works, from his father's struggle with Alzheimer's disease to a rueful account of Franzen's brief tenure as an Oprah Winfrey author, each piece wrestles with Franzen's familiar themes: the erosion of civic life and private dignity, and the hidden persistence of loneliness, in postmodern imperial America.These collected essays record what Franzen calls 'a movement away from an angry and frightened isolation toward an acceptance – even a celebration – of being a reader and a writer.' They voice a wry distrust of the claims of technology and psychology, the love-hate relationship with consumerism, and the subversive belief in the tragic shape of the individual life that help make Franzen one of the sharpest, toughest-minded, and most entertaining social critics at work today.

SPECIAL PRICE FOR A LIMITED TIMEOne woman's journal of single life on the margins.A brilliant collection of Lynne Truss’ journalism – recording the life of a metropolitan refugee from coupledom. The alternative `Bridget Jones’.For seven long years, starting in `The Listener’ in 1988 and continuing in `The Times’ and `Woman's Journal’, Lynne Truss has been trying to make her cat laugh. It has been an uphill task, which is why she deserves this book, a recognition of outstanding courage in the face of futility. Along the way, 'Margins', 'Single of Life' and 'One Woman's Journal' have collected a band of devoted fans, yet still the cat remains unimpressed.Never have so many jokes about Kitbits been found in such concentration as in `Making the Cat Laugh’. But under the headings such as 'The Single Woman Considers Going Out but Doesn't Fancy the Hassle' and 'The Single Woman Stays at Home and Goes Quietly Mad', we discover a writer not only obsessed with cats, but prone to over-reacting generally - to news stories, shopping, passive smoking, Christmas, coupledom, boyfriends, snails, sheds, Andre Agassi, cooking instructions, requests of 'How's the novel going?' and personal remarks of any kind.

‘When I am disturbed, even angry, gardening has been a therapy. When I don''t want to talk I turn to Plot 29, or to a wilder piece of land by a northern sea. There, among seeds and trees, my breathing slows; my heart rate too. My anxieties slip away.’As a young boy in 1960s Plymouth, Allan Jenkins and his brother, Christopher, were rescued from their care home and fostered by an elderly couple. There, the brothers started to grow flowers in their riverside cottage. They found a new life with their new mum and dad.As Allan grew older, his foster parents were never quite able to provide the family he and his brother needed, but the solace he found in tending a small London allotment echoed the childhood moments when he grew nasturtiums from seed.Over the course of a year, Allan digs deeper into his past, seeking to learn more about his absent parents. Examining the truths and untruths that he’d been told, he discovers the secrets to why the two boys were in care. What emerges is a vivid portrait of the violence and neglect that lay at the heart of his family.A beautifully written, haunting memoir, Plot 29 is a mystery story and meditation on nature and nurture. It’s also a celebration of the joy to be found in sharing food and flowers with people you love.

THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘Bravely revealing’ BERNARDINE EVARISTO‘Funny, moving, helpful and true, Friendaholic deserves a massive audience’ SATHNAM SANGHERA‘This book is brilliant’ JO ELVIN‘Essential reading… admirably candid and well-crafted’ GUARDIAN As a society, there is a tendency to elevate romantic love. But what about friendships? Aren't they just as – if not more – important? So why is it hard to find the right words to express what these uniquely complex bonds mean to us? In Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict, Elizabeth Day embarks on a journey to answer these questions. Growing up, Elizabeth wanted to make everyone like her. Lacking friends at school, she grew up to believe that quantity equalled quality. Having lots of friends meant you were loved, popular and safe. She was determined to become a Good Friend. And, in many ways, she did. But in adulthood she slowly realised that it was often to the detriment of her own boundaries and mental health.Then, when a global pandemic hit in 2020, she was one of many who were forced to reassess what friendship really meant to them – with the crisis came a dawning realisation: her truest friends were not always the ones she had been spending most time with. Why was this? Could she rebalance it? Was there such thing as…too many friends? And was she really the friend she thought she was?Friendaholic unpacks the significance and evolution of friendship. From exploring her own personal friendships and the distinct importance of each of them in her life, to the unique and powerful insights of others across the globe, Elizabeth asks why there isn’t yet a language that can express its crucial influence on our world.From ghosting and frenemies to social media and seismic life events, Elizabeth leaves no stone unturned. Friendaholic is the book you buy for the people you love but it's also the book you read to become a better friend to yourself.

'Absolute heaven.' Jilly CooperA hilarious and heartfelt year following one woman and her puppy - from chaos and tears to healing and new beginnings. It's a love story, but not as you know it. Raising a puppy is simple: feed them, walk them, love them. Right? Wrong.Armed with Pinterest-perfect plans and firm ideas about training, Sophia brings Dennis - a scruffy and defiant Parson terrier - into her life. But just as the puppy pads hit the floor, the rest of her world falls apart.Suddenly single and quietly unravelling, Sophia finds herself solo parenting a tiny, gleeful agent of chaos who devours foam earplugs, destroys her shoes, and has an alarming taste for spiders. He's also the only thing keeping her afloat.As the months roll by in a haze of dodgy first dates, sleepless nights and meltdowns in the park, Sophia begins to make sense of it all: the grief of a life that didn't go to plan, the weirdness of being single in your late thirties, and the surprising ways love shows up when you least expect it.By the end of their first year together, Dennis hasn't just wrecked the furniture - he's quietly rebuilt her life.For anyone who's ever been through shattering heartbreak, this is a story of quiet resilience, unpredictable joy, and the quiet wonder of a small body curled beside you when it matters most. Readers are falling in love with the hilarity and charm of The Year of the Dog:'By turns hilarious, entertaining and heartbreakingly honest, it's an unforgettable love story you'll want to buy for all your friends' Jill Mansell'Tender, hilarious and moving' Daisy Buchanan'This made me laugh like a drain on a packed Underground commute, and I haven't even got a dog' Andrew Hunter Murray 'Extremely funny, deeply charming' India Knight
