Together: Why Social Connection Holds the Key to Better Health, Higher Performance, and Greater Happiness

A bit of a slow read and definitely academic, but moving in the end about the power of connection and the sad reality of the world we live in today - a loneliness epidemic. Pretty revealing and counterintuitive how many issues which seem disconnected from isolation, crime, academic performance, physical health, etc all boil down to whether people feel like they are a part of a community. Feels like for any aim today, the first step should be to focus on building meaningful relationships. Nice motivation to keep trying to build communities everywhere, it’s what makes life special.
