Overview
The Little Book of Solitude invites you to embrace silence and create space to breathe, unwind, reflect, and create—free from the expectations of the outside world.
Inspired by the lives of great thinkers, artists, writers, and philosophers, photographer Joost Joossen explores the many benefits of solitude. The Little Book of Solitude is a carefully curated collection of inspiring stories, quotes, and insights from 55 extraordinary individuals who harnessed the power of solitude. Among them are Nelson Mandela, James Dean, Edward Hopper, Immanuel Kant, Marina Abramović, Pina Bausch, David Lynch, Buddha, Frida Kahlo, Marcus Aurelius, and Marie Kondo.
Whether you seek a reset or are simply curious about the lives of these remarkable minds, this book reveals how solitude can fuel creativity, restore balance, and enrich your life.
