Loneliness Has an Antidote: The Feeling of Closeness
Loneliness isn't something that happens only when we are physically
alone. It can also happen when we are with people. Online friends,
followers, or "likers" don't necessarily add up to much when you crave
fulfilling interaction, and satisfying, long-term relationships are not
a mystery to be left up to chance (or technology). The good news is
that, according to relationship coach Kira Asatryan, loneliness has a
reliable antidote: the feeling of closeness. We can and should cultivate
closeness in our relationships using the steps outlined in this book:
knowing, caring, and mastering closeness.
Whether with romantic partners, friends, family members, or business
colleagues, these techniques will help you establish true closeness with
others. The simple and straightforward actions Asatryan presents in this
wonderfully practical book will guide you toward better relationships
and less loneliness in all social contexts.
