Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You're Seen but Not Known

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.

Ben Higgins is best known from season 20 of ABC's hit series, The Bachelor. The show led to an enhanced social media platform that he now uses to share what he is most passionate about with others--his faith, his hope for humanity, and his love of sports. In 2017 Ben cofounded Generous International, a for-purpose company dedicated to contributing profits to social issues around the world, and a lifestyle blog, The Mahogany Workplace, where people are free to discuss openly and honestly about all things concerning life, love, and everything in between. Ben stays connected with his loyal Bachelor following with his popular podcast, Almost Famous, which he cohosts with his friend and former Bachelor contestant, Ashley Iaconetti.
