About this listen
In today's increasingly disconnected world, loneliness and social isolation have emerged as critical threats to our health and well-being. With alarming statistics revealing that nearly half of American adults experience feelings of loneliness, it has become abundantly clear that we are facing a crisis of connection - one that demands urgent attention and collective action.
This book, "Connecting for Health and Well-Being: A National Call to Action on Loneliness and Isolation," serves as a clarion call to address the pervasive issue of loneliness and its devastating consequences on our physical, mental, and societal health. Drawing upon extensive research, expert insights, and the U.S. Surgeon General's advisory, we delve into the complex nature of loneliness, its comparison to the health risks of smoking, and the vital role of social infrastructure in promoting connection.
