This is a great guide that can help parents, teachers, or counselors explain why their kids/students suffer from loneliness even while being surrounded by other people. I really appreciated that the author explained various kinds of loneliness, the causes and the cures. I liked all the quotes from famous authors at the beginning of chapters that make the whole concept of loneliness feel easier to understand and resolve. I also appreciated that the author pointed out that social media cannot cure that problem -- so many kids today don't seem to understand that, and that's exactly where they look for cures. Good short guide!
