Loneliness

by Z. B. Hill

Overview

Discover how you can use loneliness to improve your life. Everyone feels lonely sometimes. Sometimes the feeling comes from being truly alone, but it has more to do with feeling alone, unconnected to other human beings. No one likes to feel lonely, but researchers have found that loneliness can actually help us to be better people. It makes us reach out to others. We don't like the way it feels, and so we form connections with other human beings—and these connections help make our world happier, safer, and more satisfying for us all. You'll find out more inside this book!

Editorial Reviews

Gr 7 Up—These books provide a multifaceted overview of common emotions, offering explanations that are always informative and never heavy-handed or obvious. For example, Fear and Anxiety describes anxiety as "apprehension about something that isn't right in front of you." The books make effective use of fictional stories that give a human face to the emotions (for instance, a girl named Mya's uneasiness about an upcoming soccer game is used to describe anxiety). Readers also learn about the physical symptoms that can result from feelings and about what is happening in the brain. A discussion of how even the most negative emotions can play a positive role will be enlightening. Graphics help visual learners conceptualize abstract ideas. For instance, a "Stress meter" shows the levels of anxiety on a barometer from "coping" to "stressed" to "anxiety attack." Activity suggestions, such as drawing a neuron, are as top-notch as the rest of the content. Strong offerings.
