I think someone here recommended this book before.  Of all of Tolle's wildly popular books, "The Power of Now" one seems to be the favorite and I just finished reading (listening to) it.  
The main point of that book is that we are not our thoughts. We are the consciousness that is aware of those thoughts. Our thoughts are mostly just products of our egos and our egos are not who we are.

Loneliness is not isolation from others, but disconnection from the true self — a concept inspired by Eckhart Tolle.

Loneliness is a signal, not a defect. You don’t need to solve it, just witness it. Each time you do, it gets lighter.
This is the essence of self-love, presence, and healing — or as Ava puts it, “poco a poco.”

Learning to sit with my loneliness

I’ve read it and found it reaffirming.  

The way that best illuminates this identifying-as-consciousness idea for me is the following simple, boring sentence:

“You are the subject, not the object.”

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!
