Through on-the-ground reporting and recounting the experiences of artists, writers, and innovators who cherished solitude, Stephanie Rosenbloom considers how being alone as a traveller--and 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 difficult to do 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, allowing travelers to slow down and appreciate casual pleasures instead of hurtling through museums and posting photos to Instagram. Each section spotlights a different theme associated with the joys and benefits of time alone and how it can enable people to enrich their lives--facilitating creativity, learning, self-reliance, as well as the ability to experiment and change. Rosenbloom incorporates insights from psychologists and sociologists who have studied solitude and happiness, and explores such topics as dining alone, learning to savor, discovering interests and passions, 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rosenbloom, Stephanie $x Travel. 650 0 $a Travelers $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Solitude. 941 $a 12 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014147.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011751.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201012028.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061457.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323022831.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204023503.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20190912031019.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180926010615.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20180907020442.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180828011903.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180712014848.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180608012444.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E4C21626AE111E897E8984897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
