Praise for Connecting with Loneliness: A Guided Journal
"After a long period of time social distancing, it may be hard to find a way out of loneliness but Jessie Everts offers support in her new book 'Connecting with Loneliness.' A guided journal with thought provoking questions, it has the keys to help unlock isolation and provide the courage to connect more deeply with oneself and others."
- Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
"Connecting with Loneliness shows us how to embrace loneliness and even use it for personal transformation. It also addresses the two most important things for creating genuine mental health: learning to be kinder to yourself, and making meaningful connections with others. Wherever you are now, you can use this as a guidebook for growth."
- Henry Emmons, MD, founder of JoyLab.coach and author of The Chemistry of Joy and The Chemistry of Calm
