Even before the COVID-19 pandemic scrambled our social
connections, Americans were worried about an epidemic of
loneliness. Louise Hawkley, PhD, principal research scientist at
NORC at the University of Chicago, talks about the difference
between being alone and being lonely, how loneliness can harm our
health, whether we really are lonelier than ever these days, and
how to identify and address the root causes of loneliness.
