#Loneliness : The Virus of the Modern Age by Tony Jeton Selimi touches on all the fears that one might have in life. He takes you on a journey that goes through 12 “major life adversities” (abuse, bullying, war, homelessness, etc.) to explain how he is able to live the life he now lives. He shares the important lessons he learned and the wisdom he gained.

The first 19 pages comprise a forward, introduction and feedback from coaches, authors, etc. Then, in chapter one, you are introduced to Selimi's personal journey through a range of adversities. All types of adversities are covered and he makes you realise that, like him, it is quite possible to resolve all of your problems and issues.

Although the book makes readers aware of the effect of loneliness, it does not cover exactly how to resolve loneliness in practice. In several places Selimi mentions his 'TJS Evolutionary Method', however, I believe that the details of this are covered in another book of his.

Selimi also talks about the ways in which he has helped various clients, with stories of people he has coached and what he enabled them to realise. He explains how he helped certain clients to fulfil their dreams by achieving the success and happiness they had always wanted.

His style of writing makes you feel you are right next to him, experiencing exactly what he is going through. He presents some interesting analogies, for example, where he compares mobile phones to the way in which we (humans) operate.

#Loneliness : The Virus of the Modern Age - self development summary

This is not a book you can read quickly as some sentences are very long, and the style takes a little getting used to. Although repetitive in places, the overall message is powerful - that every lonely person can be helped. Readers are made to feel that they are not alone with their issues and that problems can indeed be resolved. From a self or personal development point of view, it is a very positive book that gives hope to the many people who suffer in silence.
