How to Be Alone

If You Want to, and Even If You Don't

De: Lane Moore

Narrado por: Lane Moore

The former sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan and host of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving first audiobook.

Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage - whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance - as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had.

From spending the holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on Earth, Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor, anxiety, and ultimate acceptance - with humor always her bolstering force and greatest gift.

How to Be Alone is a must-listen for anyone whose childhood still feels unresolved, who spends more time pretending to have friends online than feeling close to anyone in real life, who tries to have genuine, deep conversations in a roomful of people who would rather you not. Above all, it’s an audiobook for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little more connected through listening to her words.

Loved the traditions

I so did my own traditions for a few years even hiked on thanksgiving and found a pair of ray bans sunglasses on my hike solo. You can do your own thing and this book reinforced my own beliefs to keep on trucking .... at your own pace.
Fuck it.

perfect timing

I found this book on my facebook feed in an audible ad post breakup and getting ready to move out. It's incredibly real and even though I haven't experienced every single thing the author has, I felt like I was listening to someone else tell my story. She puts so many feelings into words that I could not describe over the years. So many internal dialogues secretly had with myself that I thought made me crazy when really, I was just human. This book is raw, honest, and reassuringly human. Thank you Lane Moore.

Never Alone

If you consider yourself normal you’ll hate this book. If you want to be normal more than anything this book will scare you. If you are quirky, a creative, a dreamer, a lover or hopeless romantic... you’ll meet a kindred spirit and never feel completely alone ever again... and you will absolutely LOVE this book!

**Bonus** she SINGS on the audio!!!! Love love love!!!!

Not what I expected, but everything I needed

Lane is a great story teller, and I almost wish this book was longer! She has had such an interesting life so far, and had conquered so much. She has quite a way with words, and can be funny, heart wrenching, and relatable all at the same time. You won't regret listening to this!

Definitley into it!

I loved hearing Lane's story. I loved that it was her voice delivering her authentic message & experiences. Her singing voice is incredible! The whole vibe of this message, the way her story is shared to this point in her life & the work she's done to counsel/reckon with it all is so impressive, inspiring & influential to me! I listened all in one day because I was SO into it! Thank you Lane Moore for sharing.

Loved this book!

I am so glad I chose to listen to this book. Her voice was inviting and genuine. You read this book and feel like you know her. I highly recommend this to you if you feel lonely or even if you don’t. If you don’t find yourself feeling alone, it’ll help you be able to see a glimpse into the lives of those around you.

This book is a masterpiece

Lane actually shows us how to love our squishy sweet inner selves through her own life story.

Lane is now my friend

The stories that Lane tells are told is such a real and honest way, wether similar things have happened to you or not, you can still relate. I even found myself chuckling a few time or getting a little mushy. It was like a Netflix series I couldn’t stop watching. Great work Lane.

My heart is full

Lane what an amazing human being you are. How blessed this World is to have you in it. I loved this book and I’m so happy that you are reading it.

Amazing

This is such a powerful book. Inspirational and comforting. Worth it and more. Get it.
