University of Chicago social neuroscientist John T. Cacioppo
unveils his pioneering research on the startling effects of
loneliness: a sense of isolation or social rejection disrupts not
only our thinking abilities and will power but also our immune
systems, and can be as damaging as obesity or smoking. A blend of
biological and social science, this book demonstrates that, as
individuals and as a society, we have everything to gain, and
everything to lose, in how well or how poorly we manage our need
for social bonds.

Not what I expected.

very science and researched based. I expected a mix between research and the the true lived experiences of lonely people telling their stories; why they perceive themselves as lonely, the events that led to their loneliness etc... but all I got throughout the book was a bunch of human experiments, research on monkeys/baboons, brain functioning and a whole lot of BLAH, BLAH,BLAH. I read the first 3 chapters thoroughly and then just skimmed through the whole book.
Very uninteresting book for me but if you are a research science junkie this is definitely the book for you, you will absolutely love it.
