Welcome to The Insight Podcast. Joining me on the show today is Daniel Schreiber. Daniel is the author of “Alone: Reflections on Solitary Living” - a book where he draws on his “personal experience, as well as philosophy and sociology, to explore the tension between the desire for solitude and freedom, and for companionship, intimacy and love”. I talk to Daniel about: - His thoughts on the seesaw of emotions that comes with being single and living on your own - Why he thinks it’s possible to live a happy, content life without being in a relationship - Whether he’s lost faith in love - Society’s attitude towards relationships, marriage and single life - The role friendship plays in his life and the question of whether these friendships can fill the voids left by a partner - The shame that can be felt by those in the LGBTQ+ community and how to navigate this - & more Enjoy the episode.
