Benefits of soliltude, briefly

The Conversation (an academic newsletter) describes briefly “Why philosophers say solitude can be helpful (even if you didn’t choose it).” Four benefits of solitude are:

1. Freedom to do what you want — any old time;
2. Reconnecting with yourself;
3. Finding your “inner citadel;”
4. Seeing the bigger picture.

Lots of representative quotes from favorite Western classics.
