Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World (soft cover))

Why do we feel more and more alone, if modern technologies are meant to unite us? Vivek Murthy, a former high-ranking official and one of the most important doctors in the United States, decided to investigate this question. He interviewed many people who feel lonely and determined what is at the root of this painful condition and how it can be overcome. In this book, he included real life stories about how loneliness, abandonment and the desire to be noticed are at the root of depressive disorders, violent acts, addictions, stressful situations at home and at work. By tackling the almost chronic problem of loneliness, it will be possible to globally overcome intolerance and make people in the world truly connected. And not artificially, but qualitatively - thanks to everyone's awareness of their role in relation to others.
