"“In this powerful book, Jeremy Nobel shows us how using the arts and creativity as ‘a gateway to imagination and empowerment’ can not only empower us to combat loneliness and isolation, but also profoundly change our minds and bodies.” —Susan Magsamen, New York Times bestselling author of Your Brain on Art “Loneliness is a silent epidemic that no one talks about (because there is no one to talk to about it). Jeremy Nobel is the best friend and confidante we all need. Project UnLonely offers practical guidance and scientific context on to how to fight loneliness in individuals and societies. His evidence-based approach elevates artistic expression to its rightful position of being as important as diet, exercise, and sleep.”  —Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Successful Aging “Jeremy Nobel not only digs into what causes the terrible anguish of loneliness in a wide variety of contexts, he also gives us a framework for reconnecting with ourselves and others in a meaningful way.  We need this book now more than ever!” —Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety “Nobel puts us in the middle of current, high stakes conversations that recognize how loneliness undermines health, as well as our chances for intimacy and democracy. Here he argues a path to connection that includes personal artistic connection—something no chatbot can provide.” —Sherry Turkle, MIT Professor, New York Times bestselling author of Reclaiming Conversation and The Empathy Diaries “This grand tour of loneliness visits the pain of subjective experience, the insights of science, the threat of technology, and the promise of art to discover solutions to one of the great public health issues of our time. In our hyper-connected but ultra-isolated world, we all need Project UnLonely.”   —Thomas Insel, former director of the NIH and author of Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health ""Loneliness and isolation threaten our very existence as social creatures. Jeremy Nobel offers a clear, lucid, and hopeful path toward greater connection through self-acceptance, self-expression, and creativity. This book is essential reading as we recover from the pandemic."" —Robert Waldinger, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Life"
