#Loneliness: The Virus of The Modern Age

Being subjected to abuse, bullying, critical illness, the atrocities of the civil war, and living homeless in a new country with no one to turn for help can certainly dredge up feelings of isolation, loneliness, rejection, and low self-worth as you leave everything you know behind. Meticulously researched and written by Tony Jeton Selimi, ‘#Loneliness: The Virus of the Modern Age’ explores the damaging scientific, psychological and spiritual impact of loneliness – a problem that has become an ironic epidemic in a world that is more interconnected than ever before.

It is a profoundly heart-wrenching and warming story about overcoming life’s most significant adversity, living in a new country feeling helplessly alone, learning to accept and love thyself, and letting people in. Selimi paints a picture of paralysing loneliness, engulfed in a bustling metropolis; he examines what it means to feel alone truly. Through an unfiltered lens, he discusses the realities of life—from the hardships to the high points—that connect us all as human beings and, most importantly, as partners, children, parents, neighbours, professionals, and leaders. He teaches us how to overcome this steep obstacle by shifting our mindset and view of past hurt and trauma by providing us with a road map for fostering meaningful relationships with self, others, and technology, as we transition into an era where artificial will surpass human intelligence.

It’s a celebration of hope, an encounter with grace, and a restoration of the heart. Empowering readers to redefine themselves as they overcome the adversity, anxiety and stagnancy likely blighting their lives, Selimi truly breaks new ground in a volume that received a Book Excellence Award Winner title and won the Maincreast Media Book Award 2021. It’s also been a hit among critics, too, with Brian Tracy recently writing, “This warm, insightful book gives you a clear roadmap to overcome loneliness and access the diving within."
