PROJECT UNLONELY

Jeremy Nobel

Healing Our Crisis of Disconnection

Dr. Jeremy Nobel's timely and necessary PROJECT UNLONELY, which provides insight into our new world of loneliness and offers solace, hope, and solutions.
Even before 2020, chronic loneliness was a private experience of profound anguish that had become a public health crisis. Since then, it has reached new heights.

Loneliness assumes many forms, from enduring physical isolation to feeling rejected because of difference, and it can have devastating consequences for our physical and mental health. As the founder of Project Unlonely, Dr. Jeremy Nobel unpacks our personal and national experience of loneliness to discover its roots and take steps to find comfort and connection.

Dr. Nobel leverages many voices, from pioneering researchers to leaders in business, education, and healthcare, to the lived experience of lonely people of every age, background, and circumstance. He discovers that the pandemic isolated us in ways that were not only physical, and that, at its core, a true sense of loneliness results from a disconnection to the self.

He clarifies how meaningful reconnection can be nourished and sustained. And he reveals that an important component of the healing process is to engage in creativity. Supportive, clear-eyed, and comforting, this is the book that we will take into our new normal and rely on for years to come.

Jeremy Nobel, MD, MPH, is a practicing general internist with faculty appointments at the Harvard School of Public Health and the Harvard Medical School. He is the founder and president of the Foundation for Art & Healing, whose signature initiative, Project Unlonely, addressing the personal and public health challenges of loneliness and social isolation, has gained national visibility. He is also a poet, a photographer, and a teacher - a practitioner of the humanities.
