"The New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head offers practical solutions for creating true community in a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before. We’re often tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others has a powerful impact on our well-being. We are meant to live known and loved. But so many are hiding behind emotional walls that we’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness."--,Provided by publisher.
