Pantheon Books (Random House), 138 pages, 1955 (with afterword written in 1975)
This was a quick read and a decent one, although I enjoyed the chapters about art and solitude more than the ones about relationships. I used to read a lot of stuff like this and then I started getting old and moving to other countries and getting my heart broken and realized I could learn all this stuff about tranquility and peace and self-sufficiency better that way. Still, this was well-written and insightful. I had it recommended to me as a good book to take on a solitary retreat and that's exactly the way I would recommend it to someone else, I think.
