About the book: 2020 / “A single woman is inappropriate!” The phrase heard in the famous Soviet film can still be heard everywhere. We are talking here, of course, about a woman without a man. Do you feel lonely on quiet evenings with a good book or watching your favorite TV series? Do you feel lonely in a cozy coffee shop with close friends? Are you lonely when doing what you love on your own or in the company of like-minded colleagues? How does a modern woman actually feel loneliness and what lies behind this feeling - our personal characteristics, needs and goals, or social myths that turn marriage into a necessary component of female success, motherhood into an obligation to be happy, and self-sufficiency into a lack of demand? In this book, psychologist Anna Mokhova will help you understand the most common myths about female loneliness, talk about how they affect our lives and how to overcome their harmful effects in order to live in harmony with yourself. Some of us find it very difficult to survive loneliness, others know how to find their own charm in it. This book will help you avoid the feeling of bitter and oppressive loneliness and leave yourself some space for pleasant and productive loneliness.
