The Loneliness Crisis
“Americans on the move, chasing jobs, leave behind family and other deep connections again and again and again. Then we wonder why our relationships and marriages go bad and why we feel lonely. Nothing drove this home more than the coronavirus: those cut off from family and from a support network were much worse off than those who had close nearby family ties. Our sense of being alone was exacerbated by authorities (the Republicans in the Senate, state houses led by Trumpists) who seemed determined to not help ordinary people but rather help corporations (and in Trump’s case, his family and corrupt cronies) instead. The talk was all about “opening the economy,” not about individuals’ well-being, let alone kindness.”
A purchase of the paperback right now really will help the book far more than buying it later. And if you decide to give away copies of my book as gifts to family and friends or to those you work with - say to everyone you know :) - please order those extra copies today. Help me turn this book into a movement!
