<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A new collection of case stories from "the Oliver Sacks of law."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A new collection of case stories from "the Oliver Sacks of law."</strong></p><p>In this follow-up to his acclaimed book, <em>Four Seasons of Loneliness</em> (winner of the 2017 Independent Publishers Gold Prize as the best book of the year in Psychology / Mental Health), social psychologist turned lawyer J. W. Freiberg continues to explore chronic loneliness, one of modern society's most serious public health crises.</p><p>In <em>Surrounded by Others and Yet So Alone</em>, he again draws from his thirty-year legal career to present five unique tales. While <em>Four Seasons of Loneliness</em> studied the devastation caused by social isolation, here Freiberg explores the impact of faulty connections in failing relationships. But don't expect to be lectured on the topic; you will find yourself reading a collection of deeply human stories. And that's a good thing, because Freiberg is a master storyteller.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"What we have in Freiberg, I'm happy to say, is the Oliver Sacks of law."</p><p>-Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.</p><p><br></p><p>"Freiberg assembles a sparkling collection of exceedingly erudite essays on human nature as seen through the lens of some of his most memorable legal cases."</p><p>-<em>Booklife</em></p><p> </p><p>"This book is a compilation of extraordinary stories told by a master storyteller. J. W. Freiberg has met some amazingly resilient survivors of a somewhat broken system and has told their tales with uncommon grace.

J. W. Freiberg has so much to teach us about the causes of loneliness and what it's like to be trapped there. And he's a hell of a storyteller with some amazing tales to tell."</p><p>-Richard Schwartz, MD<br>Associate Professor of Adult Psychiatry, <br>Harvard Medical School</p><br>
