The Loneliness Cure: Six Strategies for Finding Real Connections in Your Life by Kory Floyd

3.0

This was definitely a slower read for me, but that’s because I took the time to work on the questions and scenarios presented in the book. I think it was a good exercise for me to think critically about how I view and handle affection in all aspects of my life.

But I did have some qualms with this book. First, the title was a bit misleading as it’s more about affection in our lives and not so much reducing loneliness. Reducing loneliness is just a byproduct of the science of affection talked about in this book. I also feel like this focused mainly on romantic and familial relationships as opposed to friendships. And friendships are really where I needed the advice.

Overall it was a decent self-help style book about affection and relationships. If you want to learn more about the science of affection, I would recommend this book!
