"There’s a simple cure for our human crises. Pain doesn’t have to be permanent. And lonely doesn’t have to last forever."

Have you ever had moments when you felt invisible? Like you didn't matter? Instead of feeling like you belong, do you fake it to fit in? 

We all do. You're not alone.

Too many people pretend to have it all together. But inside they're lost and lonely just wishing someone would notice. Alone Sucks tells the story of aloneness and untangles the many lies and messiness of life.

You can feel whole and learn how to help others at the same time.

alone doesn't have to suck!

Loneliness is one of those rare ailments that defiantly objects to publicity. Bringing it into the light with honesty and unvarnished vulnerability is the first hammer-whack on its ceramic frailty. Through his own story of acute isolation, Tim Eldred names the squiggly things under the rock, carrying the hope of light into dark places.
