There is a major shift happening in western society where people are beginning to question the sociopolitical system and the social norms to which they are accustomed. People, particularly men, are beginning to realize they live in a system that is unfair and unjust while at the same time requiring them to keep the infrastructure of society running. As a result, some men become ostracized and shunned from their friends, family, coworkers, and other associates because of the inconvenient truths they've become aware of and their decision to change their lifestyle.

However, most men have no guide, no direction when it comes to making such a decision. Although this book is called "The Art Of Being Alone", it is really an introduction toward the things men have to accept as well as being alone, to instill the proper mindset so they don't become overwhelmed by the truth and the harsh reality it opens them up to. In this book, Jo The Philosopher doesn't provide a step-by-step guide but a general sense of direction men can leverage and make their own. Knowledge that can be applied to all aspects of life and be used in some way for men to lead higher qualities of existence and to take their life back into their own hands.
