In 'Together,' Former Surgeon General Writes About Importance Of Human Connection (dailygood.org)

 

When Dr. Vivek Murthy was surgeon general of the United States during the Obama administration, he went on a listening tour of America: He wanted to hear firsthand about people's health concerns.

That meant addressing opioid addiction, diabetes and heart disease. And one more thing — something he wasn't really prepared for — the number of Americans suffering from a lack of human connection. Loneliness, he learned, was impacting them not only mentally but also physically.

It's a subject he writes about in his new book, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.
