Why Solitude is Essential for Happiness

A new philosophy is emerging, supported by books and films, that highlights the value of solitude for happiness. Wim Wenders' film, Perfect Days, features a toilet cleaner in Tokyo who finds peace in his solitary routine.

This positive view of solitude is gaining ground, with podcasts, TikTok videos, and articles highlighting the benefits of spending time alone. The 'solo' path, from taking advantage of single life to spending time with oneself, can be full of meaning.
