Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World
In the book that we need NOW more than ever to avoid a social recession, Vivek Murthy's message is about the importance of human connection, the hidden impact of loneliness on our health, and the social power of community. Dr. Murthy makes a powerful and convincing argument for why we can and must build a more connected world.
Humans are social creatures: In this simple and obvious fact lies both the problem and the solution to the current crisis of loneliness. Dr. Vivek Murthy makes a case for loneliness as a public health concern: a root cause and contributor to many of the epidemics sweeping the world today from alcohol and drug addiction to violence to depression and anxiety.
But, at the center of our loneliness is our innate desire to connect. We have evolved to participate in the community, to forge lasting bonds with others, to help one another, and to share life experiences. We are, simply, better together.
We have evolved to participate in the community, to forge lasting bonds with others, to help one another, and to share life experiences. We are, simply, better together. And yet, in spite of our desire to connect, loneliness is everywhere!
The good news is that with an awareness of the causes of our loneliness, comes creative solutions to help ourselves and those we love to create more connected lives.
