Loneliness is a root cause and contributor to many of the epidemics sweeping the world today-from alcohol and drug addiction to violence, depression, and anxiety. It affects not only our health but also how our children experience school, how we perform at work, and the sense of division and polarization in our society. Despite our progress in talking about mental health, we are still ashamed of feeling lonely. Dr. Murthy explores our need to belong and what happens when we find ourselves untethered. But there is hope in our true nature as social animals. Our desire to forge lasting bonds, help one another, and share life experiences also provides the starting point for curing this epidemic of loneliness. Together we are simply better. In Together, Dr. Murthy recounts inspiring and encouraging stories of individuals and communities that are making great strides in helping us understand that we are not alone and offers simple yet effective solutions we can use today to heal ourselves, one another, and build stronger communities. Told with great compassion and hope, Dr. Murthy makes a powerful and convincing argument for why we can and must build a more connected world.
