About this audiobook

Includes an audiobook-exclusive bonus track with Ben Higgins answering fan questions!

Are you tired of people knowing who you are but no one really knowing you?

As the star of the twentieth season of The Bachelor, Ben Higgins looked like he had it all together. Instead, Ben felt dissatisfied, fearful, and deeply alone. Like so many of us, he thought of himself as the kid who never got picked for the game, the person always on the outside of the joke, the friend who knew a lot of people but was never truly known. He wondered if he mattered at all.

In Alone in Plain Sight, Ben vulnerably shares how he found authentic connection with himself, with others, and with God. As Ben helps us name our own yearning for meaning, he explores

  • ways to understand ourselves more deeply so that we are free to connect with others;
  • how shared pain can bridge even the widest gaps between two very different people;
  • why we must deconstruct our culture’s fairy-tale view of love; and
  • how the God who longs for relationship with us is the answer to our need for connection.

As Ben discovered, in a disconnected world, it is still possible to have lasting purpose and peace. You are already known. You are already loved. You are already seen. Discover how to live out how much you matter as you embrace the true meaning of your one incredible life.

I was fortunate enough to get an early prerelease copy of this book. I had heard some stories about it, but was not prepared for the emotional journey I was about to go on. Ben writes about the deep feelings that start as a young kid (sometimes) of feeling Alone while in plain site. But, he continues on to share about his own journey to finding purpose and connectedness. This book is a must read for anyone. We all have our moments where we feel disconnected and truly alone. Where we feel like our value is diminished. Where labels have defined us. Where we question whether those even closest to us truly find us lovable. Ben doesn’t sit in despair. He doesn’t take you down an over-sharing journey, rather works with you so you can put the book down more aware than ever how very loved and valued you are.
