Description:“One of the most important books about the human condition to appear in a decade.”—Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness"Based on Jon T. Cacioppo's pioneering research, Loneliness explores the surprising effects of this all-too-human experience, providing a fundamentally new view of the importance of social connection and how it can rescue us from painful isolation. His studies relying on brain imaging, analysis of blood pressure, immune response, stress hormones, behavior, and even gene expression show that human beings are simply far more intertwined and interdependent - physiologically as well as psychologically - than our cultural assumptions have ever allowed us to acknowledge." Cacioppo's findings also show that prolonged loneliness can be as harmful to your health as smoking or obesity. On the flip side, they demonstrate the therapeutic power of social connection and point the way toward making that healing balm available to everyone.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
