Both heartening and saddening

5 stars

I enjoyed this. It's an impressive study, and I liked the glimpses into a variety of peoples lives, seeing how they lived, the choices they made. The emphasis is on relationships, and how crucial they are to a sense of a good life. This is both heartening and saddening, as it seems so many feel increasingly isolated and not knowing how to cultivate positive relationships. So I wished for a bit more depth around the pervading loneliness and how we can support one another to connect in meaningful ways.
