Meer over het boek

The book explores the diminishing value of solitude in a culture obsessed with instant communication and rapid group interactions. It critiques modern education's focus on fragmented activities over deep, thoughtful study, highlighting how constant connectivity undermines our ability to reflect and engage with complex ideas. Emphasizing solitude's vital role in literature, education, and personal relationships, the author advocates for a nuanced appreciation of solitude, encouraging a shift in attitude rather than radical changes.
