<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A pioneering neuroscientist reveals the reasons for chronic loneliness--which he defines an unrecognized syndrome--and brings it out of the shadow of its cousin, depression. 12 illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>University of Chicago social neuroscientist John T. Cacioppo unveils his pioneering research on the startling effects of loneliness: a sense of isolation or social rejection disrupts not only our thinking abilities and will power but also our immune systems, and can be as damaging as obesity or smoking. A blend of biological and social science, this book demonstrates that, as individuals and as a society, we have everything to gain, and everything to lose, in how well or how poorly we manage our need for social bonds.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Superb.-- "Library Journal"<br><br>Wise, beautifully written, and often funny...a tour-de-force.--Shelley E. Taylor, professor of psychology, University of California, Los Angeles<br><br>A magnificent exposé.--Frans de Waal<br>
