Choosing to enrich your life by yourself is very different from being “lonely.” In Celebrating Time Alone, Lionel Fisher shares his personal reflections on solitude, brought into sharp focus by living alone for six years on a remote Pacific Northwest beach.

He supplements his own reflections by interviewing men and women in sixteen states, in both rural and urban settings, who have stretched the envelope of their aloneness to Waldenesque proportions.

All the material is intended to offer counsel, inspiration, affirmation, insights, encouragement, and advice on living well alone, to help learn to use solitude and periods of aloneness for self-discovery and personal growth—whether they choose aloneness or have it thrust on them.

Industry Reviews

If Lionel Fisher isn't the world's leading authority on "splendid solitude," he certainly qualifies as one of its most eloquent advocates. A sensitive, articulate, highly entertaining writer, Fisher presents a remarkable collection of stories with the collective capacity to touch and inspire readers to seek their own paths to personal discovery and self-fulfillment.
—Thayer Cheatham Willis, MA, LCSW psychotherapist
