Explore strategies, ideas, and advice for overcoming loneliness

Anyone, whatever their age, gender, culture, or abilities, can find themselves separate and disconnected from others and feeling lonely. If you feel lonely you are lonely. And it's not nice. But your situation can change for the better!

In Lonely Less, bestselling author Gill Hasson delivers practical strategies you can implement immediately to counter loneliness and connect with other people.

The book recognizes that as social beings, we each need to interact with others; to connect in positive ways and feel that we are understood, that we belong and are valued by others.

It offers: a guide to meeting new people and making friends; advice on how best to "fit in" with others; ideas on how to spend time alone; recommendations for keeping connected when working from home; and expert advice on managing existential loneliness, the disconnection that can follow a traumatic experience.

Whether you're looking to empower yourself or help someone else, Lonely Less is a must-listen in order to better connect with others, take part in social activities, make friends, be understood, and feel a sense of belonging.
