Reddit reviews Stop Being Lonely: Three Simple Steps to Developing Close Friendships and Deep Relationships

Thanks for your candor.

​

I read an interesting book recently which was written by a psychologist who found herself getting lonelier in an increasingly isolated existence. Electronic communication and rare social outlets suggested that there was a need for a better process. The book is called 'Stop Being Lonely' ( https://www.amazon.ca/Stop-Being-Lonely-Friendships-Relationships/dp/160868380X).

​

I am not suggesting that you are lonely or anything, but the steps in this book cut through the crap and figure out who might be a good 'closeness' candidate. I am curious if anyone else finds it interesting.

Your harassment links and information are excellent. I have my own experiences in this area. I am not sure where I stand on the subjective nature of it all.

Stop Being Lonely by Kira Asatryan has been a helpful book for me. It has pretty good discussion on why people feel lonely in modern world and what can you actually do to make yourself less lonely. The book is not about making friends or how to make people to like you. Truth is many people with friends or relationship feel lonely. It's about how to make your existing relationships feel more meaningful and how to feel deeper connection with other people. I've been applying the advice to all people I interact with, from grocery store cashiers to my close family and I actually have been starting to feel less and less lonely.

EDIT: And yeah, it's not really about meditation. I don't think meditation can remove feeling of loneliness really, but can make you more resilient against feeling lonely, which is valuable as well.
