Book Discussion
"Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World"
By Dr. Vivek Murthy

Humans are inherently social beings: this simple yet profound truth holds both the challenge and the solution to today’s global loneliness epidemic. Dr. Vivek Murthy—19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States—explores loneliness as a critical public health issue. He highlights its role as a root cause and contributor to many modern crises, including addiction, violence, depression, and anxiety. Loneliness, he argues, impacts not only our physical and mental health but also how children experience school, how adults perform at work, and the growing divisions in our society.

At the heart of loneliness is our innate need for connection. As humans, we’ve evolved to build communities, nurture meaningful bonds, and share life’s joys and struggles. Quite simply, we are stronger together.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion on these important themes:
