'The practical advice in this book is gold dust not only for lonely
people, but for those who long to help them.' - Joanna Lumley
Loneliness is an epidemic on the rise. It has long been documented
that older people suffer from social isolation, but teenagers do
too, likewise new parents, those with disability or illness, and
anybody going through a significant life change. As more people
work full-time, and we interact via social media rather than
face-to-face, we need to stop and ask ourselves: what can we do to
ensure all our futures are more connected and socially satisfying?
This book will help to share stories of loneliness to increase our
empathy and understanding of it, and to look for possible
solutions. Using the research the Jo Cox Commission undertook
following the MP's senseless death in 2016, it offers a wealth of
practical advice: how to spot the symptoms in yourself and in
others; how to ease them; how to seek help and, ultimately, how to
understand this most fundamental of human emotions. Its aim is
simple: to provide us all with the tools we need to lead kinder,
more connected lives.
