Solitude is part of the human experience – but researchers are only just beginning to understand the potential costs and benefits of spending time alone for health and well-being. Carleton psychology professor and author Robert Coplan provides an engaging, practical guide through the promises and paradoxes of solitude, offering science-backed advice for getting the most out of your alone time and deepening your relationship with yourself – and others.
Hosted by Professor Joanna Pozzulo (director of the Mental Health and Well-Being Research and Training Hub), this event will also feature a panel discussion with Carleton Psychology students who discuss the strategies they use to “disconnect” and how they balance between being connected with spending time alone.
