Westheimer, Ruth K. (Ruth Karola), 1928-20242024
Book
When US surgeon general Dr Vivek Murthy sounded the alarm that loneliness 'represents an urgent public health concern' -- exacerbated by social media overuse, the effects of the pandemic, and the lack of meaningful relationships -- therapist Dr Ruth K. Westheimer knew that her unique perspective and expertise could help. She made it her mission to help individuals break from the bonds of hopelessness and isolation. We are social animals. We have a shared desire to connect and create lasting bonds with the people around us. But the heaviness of loneliness can make this feel impossible. Dr Ruth provides practical and creative strategies for finding friends, community, and intimacy. And it's anchored by her own story, from the loneliness of losing her family in the Holocaust to living in an orphanage to rebuilding her life in America. The Joy of Connections isn't just a guidebook for overcoming loneliness, it's also the vital kick in the pants we all need to start seeking -- and finding -- deep and lasting human connections.
