In today’s hyperconnected world, it is more important than ever to take a step back and carve out moments for yourself. The Little Book of Solitude invites you to do just that: to embrace silence and create space to breathe, unwind, reflect, and create—free from the expectations of the outside world.

Inspired by the lives of great thinkers, artists, writers, and philosophers, photographer Joost Joossen explores the many benefits of solitude. Being alone can spark creativity, provide an escape from the noise of daily life, and grant you the freedom to be yourself. The Little Book of Solitude is a carefully curated collection of inspiring stories, quotes, and insights from 55 extraordinary individuals who harnessed the power of solitude. Among them are Nelson Mandela, James Dean, Edward Hopper, Immanuel Kant, Marina Abramović, Pina Bausch, David Lynch, Buddha, Frida Kahlo, Marcus Aurelius, and Marie Kondō.

Discover how they—and many others—found their inner voice in moments of reflection, used time alone to recharge, and transformed solitude into art and ideas that changed the world. Whether you seek a reset or are simply curious about the lives of these remarkable minds, this book reveals how solitude can fuel creativity, restore balance, and enrich your life.

This book comes with a lovely notebook ‘The Little Notebook of Solitude’ where you can jot down your thoughts. You can buy the book separately for 16,95 euros, or the book and the notebook together for 35 euros. For orders over 75 euros (including The Little Book of Solitude), you get the notebook for free.
