CHILLIN Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Interesting book review about how the number one public health problem today is loneliness. This, in combination with another study, that 29% are senior "orphans" in Canada and the U.S.A. We have to work on this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/we-have-an-epidemic-of-loneliness-how-can-we-fix-it/2018/10/12/e8378a38-cd92-11e8-920f-dd52e1ae4570_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c24bf3a2ec78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Phillip Slater's book "The Pursuit of Loneliness" is a good read if you are interested in books that dissect American culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! Down here you have to work at being alone even when you want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
