In Alone Time: Embracing Solitude for Health and Well Being, clinical psychologist and professor of psychology
Sybil Geldart, PhD draws on research, case studies, and personal anecdotes to examine the role self-chosen solitude can play in our well-being. Through practical tips, advice, and exercises, the book explores self-
reflection and self-knowledge alongside goal-setting, problem-solving, stress and anxiety, work-life balance, and how understanding ourselves more deeply can help us better understand others.

RITUAL STEP: Set aside a pocket of uninterrupted time and choose a chapter, exercise, or reflection that speaks to where you are right now. Put distractions aside, find somewhere comfortable, and give yourself permission to explore the book at a slower, more deliberate pace.

FUN FACT: Practicing solitude has been an age-old part of Eastern traditions of health and well-being. Alone Time brings that longstanding practice into modern life by exploring the value of self-initiated personal space in an increasingly connected and ever-changing world.
