US surgeon general Dr Vivek Murthy recently sounded the alarm that loneliness ârepresents an urgent public health concernâ â\" social media overuse, the effects of the pandemic, and the lack of âthird placesâ have all combined to make us more alone than weâve ever been. Now, trusted therapist Dr Ruth K. Westheimer has made it her mission to shine a light on the problem and help us break out of the box of isolation. We are social animals. We are not meant to live in solitude. We have a shared desire to connect and create lasting bonds with the people around us. But the heaviness of loneliness can make this feel impossible. In tackling this problem with compassion and her trademark no-nonsense approach to therapy, Dr Ruth provides practical, sincere strategies for finding companionship, community, and intimacy. With her tips on navigating family, finding friends and lovers, and using technology in healthy ways, you will find wisdom and help here, whether youâve been struggling with loneliness for years or only recently. The Joy of Connections isnât just a guidebook for overcoming loneliness: itâs a vital kick in the pants we all need to start seeking â\" and finding â\" deep and lasting human connections.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"stamped-main-widget\" data-product-id=\"9781915590534\" data-name=\"The Joy of Connections\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.booktopia.com.au\/the-joy-of-connections-dr-ruth-k-westheimer\/book\/9781915590534.html\" data-image-url=\"https:\/\/www.booktopia.com.au\/covers\/big\/9781915590534\/7025\/the-joy-of-connections.jpg\" data-description=\"100 ways to beat loneliness and live a happier and more meaningful life\" data-product-sku=\"9781915590534\" class=\"stamped-main-widget-loading\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scribe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46309980766365,"sku":"9781915590534","price":88.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7575\/1837\/files\/9781915590534_MPH.jpg?v=1739493568","url":"https:\/\/mphonline.com\/products\/joy-of-connections-uk","provider":"MPHOnline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
