Not What I Expected,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Loneliness Workbook: A Guide to Developing and Maintaining Lasting Connections (Paperback)
I'm glad the other reviewer found this book useful, but I'm afraid I didn't. I found the author's advice simplistic and naive. She seems to believe that a simple resolution to have only nice thoughts about oneself will drive out self-doubt and self-criticism, and that resolving to improve one's social skills is the same thing as actually doing it. (How the reader is supposed to identify these deficits specifically enough to eliminate them, with no feedback from others, is another story...)If this approach worked as well as she seems to think, then why do most people struggle to keep their New Year's resolutions? Again, I'm happy the book helped someone, but it didn't help me.

useful, but a workbook cannot do everything,
This review is from: The Loneliness Workbook: A Guide to Developing and Maintaining Lasting Connections (Paperback)
I found the workbook useful, sensitive and clear guide. However, not all problems are solvable by self-help workbooks. Relating lonliness to one's own person is appropriate. Recent work by Dr. Katherien Fiori of the Max Plank Institute suggests that lonliness has a genetic component - it is the common lot of humanity that merely winning friends and influencing people is not enough. As a chaplain, I find the only fulfilling response to lonliness is a spiritual awakening.
