The world is facing an epidemic of loneliness. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us new words, like isolation, quarantine and social distancing. In places like the UK and Japan, governments have appointed ministers of loneliness to examine the problem and find ways to help their citizens.
What does it mean to be lonely, and what can we do about it? Alone Together explores what superheroes can teach us about being alone, the ways kids have survived on their own and how activists in the civil rights movement took a stand against loneliness. Discover what comfort foods, sweatpants and being kind to each other have to do with loneliness.
Based on the podcast of the same name. Readers will learn about loneliness and how being alone can ultimately bring us closer together. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
