The Great Belonging Project: Day 26
“I often find conversing about loneliness—or conversing alongside loneliness—with other people has, ironically, invited me into places of intimacy.” - The Great Belonging: How Loneliness Leads Us to Each Other
If you aren’t comfortable talking about your own loneliness, you can listen to @rachelelizabethburchfield and me talk about it.
I was honored to be a guest on Rachel’s podcast, I’d Rather Be Reading. We had a fantastic conversation about The Great Belonging: How Loneliness Leads Us to Each Other.
For Day 26 of The Great Belonging Project, I invite you to listen to our conversation.
Here are some of the questions Rachel asked me during this podcast episode:
❓So of all the books that you could have written, why write a book about loneliness?
❓But your book made me believe that there may be an upside to loneliness. Is there a positive side of loneliness?
❓Is loneliness kind of essential to the full human experience?
❓So what is the dance, I guess, between loneliness and belonging? How do they interface with one another? Can you have both at the same time? Is it black and white? How do they intermix with each other?
❓When readers close the book, what do you hope they’ve learned and how do you hope they feel?
I’d love for you to listen to this podcast episode.

Cheers to talking about our loneliness and listening to other people talk about their loneliness.
