Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection by John T. Cacioppo

Description: Loneliness by John T. Cacioppo, William Patrick Based on groundbreaking research showing that prolonged loneliness can be as harmful to your health as smoking, Loneliness is "one of the most important books about the human condition to appear in a decade" (Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness). FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description University of Chicago social neuroscientist John T. Cacioppo unveils his pioneering research on the startling effects of loneliness: a sense of isolation or social rejection disrupts not only our thinking abilities and will power but also our immune systems, and can be as damaging as obesity or smoking. A blend of biological and social science, this book demonstrates that, as individuals and as a society, we have everything to gain, and everything to lose, in how well or how poorly we manage our need for social bonds. Author Biography John T. Cacioppo (1951—2018) was a psychology professor at the University of Chicago and director of the universitys Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience.
