520    The Globe & Mail Bestseller!You can build authentic social
       connections—even while physically apart.We are wired for 
       social connection; our mental health depends on it. From a
       simple smile from a stranger on the street to a hug from a
       relative or close friend, we humans thrive when we feel 
       connected to one another. And yet, loneliness is on the 
       rise. The good news is, you don't have to continue 
       suffering in silence. In this powerful guide and workbook,
       renowned mental health expert and addictions counselor Dr 
       Bill Howatt drills into the root causes of isolation and 
       loneliness—including the double-edged sword of digital 
       technology—and shows you how to conquer them to achieve a 
       more fulfilling, enriching life. Through a compelling mix 
       of real-life case studies, self-reflection exercises, and 
       cognitive behavioral techniques, you'll learn how to 
       recognize your own self-limiting thoughts and behaviors, 
       unlock your mental traps, and close the social connection 
       gaps in all areas of your life—from the personal to the 
       professional. Employers will also find tips for boosting 
       psychological safety in the workplace and among their 
       virtual teams. No single pill or exercise offers an escape
       from isolation; the cure for loneliness lies in a 
       combination of realizing where you're stuck, and closing 
       social connections gaps in meaningful ways. But if you 
       commit to doing the work, you can become who you want to 
       be. You can have more meaningful social connections. 
       Ultimately, you'll see that why you feel isolated and 
       lonely may not be as important as what you learn to do 
       with it.
