Last year, the U.S. Surgeon General offered an unusual advisory on the epidemic of chronic loneliness. How did we become so alienated? Why is our sense of belonging so undermined? What if there were a set of science-backed techniques for navigating modern social life that could help us overcome our differences, create empathy, and forge lasting connections even across divides? What if there were a useful set of takeaways for parents, educators and managers of all stripes to create connection even during challenging times?
​
Stanford professor of psychology Geoffrey Cohen, PhD,  applies groundbreaking research to the myriad problems of communal existence and will offer concrete solutions for improving daily life at work, in school, in our homes, and in our communities.
