Do you have a thousand Facebook friends and yet you feel alone?
In a world saturated by instant gratification, we have forgotten how to
foster lasting human connections. Although technology allows us to keep in
touch with people who live on the other side of the world, loneliness is at
an all-time high. Why is that? Well, for one thing, smartphones do not give
hugs.
Dr. H. David Burstein takes an in-depth look at loneliness, its modern
causes, and how it may be alleviated. He has found that loneliness is
inextricably woven into the fabric of our human condition. Our need for
connection highlights the biological fact that we are, first and foremost,
social creatures. Feelings of loneliness act as a light on an emotional fuel
gauge, alerting us to our need for accessing personal or social
energy.
This thorough investigation into our yearning for social connection offers
many solutions that will empower us to show up more powerfully in order to
fulfill this basic human need. And these solutions begin with an
introspective excavation of ourselves, our emotions, and our search for
purpose and meaning.
Compelling, insightful, and thought-provoking, this is a go-to guide for a
more fulfilled life.
