Instant New York Times Bestseller! The book we need NOW to avoid a
social recession, Murthys prescient message isabout the importance
of human connection, the hidden impact of loneliness on our health,
and the social power of community. Humans are social creatures: In
this simple and obvious fact lies both the problem and the solution
to the current crisis of loneliness. In his groundbreaking book,
the 19th surgeon general of the United States 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.Loneliness, he argues, is affecting not only our health,
but also how our children experience school, how we perform in the
workplace, and the sense of division and polarization in our
society. But, at the center of our loneliness is our innate desire
to connect. We have evolved to participate in community, to forge
lasting bonds with others, to help one another, and to share life
experiences. We are, simply, better together. The lessons
inTogetherhave immediate relevance and application.These four key
strategies will help us not only to weather this crisis, but also
to heal our social world far into the future.Spend time each day
with those you love. Devote at least 15 minutes each day to
connecting with those you most care about. Focus on each other.
Forget about multitasking and give the other person the gift of
your full attention, making eye contact, if possible, and genuinely
listening. Embrace solitude.The first step toward building stronger
connections with others is to build a stronger connection with
oneself. Meditation, prayer, art, music, and time spent outdoors
can all be sources of solitary comfort and joy. Help and be helped.
Service is a form of human connection that reminds us of our value
and purpose in life.Checking on a neighbor, seeking advice, even
just offering a smile to a stranger six feet away, all can make us
stronger.During Murthys tenure as Surgeon General and during the
research forTogether, he found that there were few issues that
elicited as much enthusiastic interest from both very conservative
and very liberal members of Congress, from young and old people, or
from urban and rural residents alike. Loneliness was something so
many people have known themselves or have seen in the people around
them. In the book, Murthy also shares his own deeply personal
experiences with the subject--from struggling with loneliness in
school, to the devastating loss of his uncle who succumbed to his
own loneliness, as well as the important example of community and
connection that his parents modeled.Simply, its a universal
condition that affects all of us directly or through the people we
lovenow more than ever.
