Loneliness is an epidemic. It's changing our politics, our culture and our health. It's killing us. So how do we fix it?
'A classic' - MALCOLM GLADWELL
'Essential reading' - ATUL GAWANDE
'A gift' - SUSAN CAIN
This elegant, profound book will revolutionise everything you thought you knew about physical health, public policy and the human condition.
Loneliness is an epidemic, whose impact on our health is on par with tobacco. No one is untouched: our healthcare system, our politics and our culture are buckling under its effects. And it has never been more urgent to address - this ground-breaking book shows the way.
Dr Vivek Murthy has been at the forefront of identifying and tackling the global loneliness crisis: as the chief medical doctor of the US under both Obama and Biden, he witnessed first-hand its impact on everyday lives. Tracing the links between loneliness, health and some of our greatest personal and social challenges - from addiction to depression, obesity, anxiety and violence - here he talks to doctors, scientists and community leaders to reveal the solutions. Human connection is simple, and it is within everyone's power to enact - the tools in this book will transform lives, but only if you apply them.
Dr. Vivek H. Murthy is a physician, researcher, public health expert, and entrepreneur. From 2014 to 2017, he served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States. His writings have been published in leading medical journals, newspapers and magazines, and his work has been covered extensively in national and international media. In 2021, Murthy was named co-chair of Joe Biden's twelve-person Covid-19 task force.
