{"product_id":"9781907314452","title":"Solitude and Loneliness: A Buddhist View","description":"Charlie Chaplin observed, ‘Loneliness is the theme of everyone.’ Although true, it is equally true that we all very skilfully, and often unconsciously, organize our lives in such a way as to avoid loneliness. Drawing on a wide range of sources – the poets Dickinson and Hafiz, the painter Edward Hopper, the sage Milarepa, the lives of Helen Keller and Chris McCandless, and of course the Buddha – Sarvananda explores the themes of isolation, loneliness and solitude from a Buddhist perspective and examines how and why our relationship to ourselves can be a source of both suffering and liberation.","brand":"Windhorse Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179292606704,"sku":"9781907314452","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907314452_p0.jpg?v=1763618035","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907314452","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
