![]() Second, that by openly sharing and discussing such feelings of isolation and loneliness, we can see that they are not personal defects, but common to creative individuals. ![]() This argument can be summarized as follows:First, that especially creative and intelligent people, who see the world differently, may have trouble communicating or expressing themselves and being understood, which leads to solitude and possibly loneliness or depression. But the book goes further, and offers a remedy for creative unhappiness and isolation that is thorough and insightful. The issues he identified over 150 years ago have exponentially multiplied in recent history. Alger wrote this treatise on solitude as a curative study in human isolation and solitude, and blames increased frequency of social influences as the main source of personal dissatisfaction. ![]() “Why do creative people so frequently live apart from the world, even while coveting closer relationships? Why do they seem to struggle more with anxiety and depression? If creativity is the panacea to the dreariness of the human condition, if art a balm for the weary soul, why do those who devote themselves to their respective crafts often have the hardest time sustaining happiness? And more importantly, what can we do about it?William R. ![]()

The two “trapezed” their way across Argentina, Bolivia and Peru, negotiating dodgy accommodations, thieves, dangerous roadways, altitude sickness and food poisoning. After living, working and traveling around Australia for a few months, Friedman and the ever-restless Carly headed to South America. A year later, newly graduated from college and as unwilling as ever to settle down, the author gratefully accepted an invitation from Carly to visit her in Sydney.
