How to Be Alone: If You Want To, and Even If You Don’t by Lane Moore

Product Details

About the Book

How to Be Alone brings together comedian, musician, and former Cosmopolitan sex and relationships editor Lane Moore's candid, wry, and ultimately hopeful reflections on a lifelong relationship with loneliness. Moore writes openly about a childhood in which she often had to be her own parent, about living in her car as a teenager, and about the difficult journey of building a life and identity in New York City with little in the way of a real safety net — turning instead to movies, TV, and music as the family and emotional support system she never had growing up.

Across a series of deeply personal essays, Moore explores the many textures of being alone: spending holidays without anyone to call, navigating bad relationships shaped by coping mechanisms she didn't realize she'd developed, having better luck connecting with total strangers than with those closest to her, and feeling, at times, like the last hopeless romantic left standing. Written with the sharp comedic timing that has made her a beloved performer, alongside genuine vulnerability about trauma, resilience, and self-acceptance, How to Be Alone offers both a narrative and a guide — not a prescription for fixing loneliness, but companionship for anyone who has ever felt profoundly unseen. It's a book for readers whose childhoods still feel unresolved and for anyone who simply wants to feel a little less alone.
