You can be in a crowded room, or at a dinner table with your spouse and children, and still feel powerfully lonely and disengaged.Forty-six percent of Americans sometimes or always feel lonely, and loneliness is a public health hazard that rivals alcoholism, smoking, and obesity. Meanwhile, as our cultural sense of disconnection grows, our endless drive for “more”—more social media, more technology, overconsumption, workaholism—grows too. But what if we were to shut off our devices and simply sit with ourselves in what Wilson calls “radical aloneness?" Could this be the antidote to the profound sense of disconnection that we feel?In the voice-driven style that built a community around her last book, Wilson embarks on a personal and spiritual journey that is destined to become a movement.About Roxanne Baker:Before working at BookStore1, Roxanne was a Counselor and Crisis Intervention Team member in the Finger Lakes area of Upstate New York and still carries an affinity for health and wellness literature.............................................................................................................Click <a href="https://www.sarasotabooks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a> to go to the Bookstore1Sarasota website.
