Beskrivning

In SOCIAL HEALTH, psychologist Kasley Killam explains how good health isn't just mental or physical: having close connections and community are as beneficial for us as healthy foods, regular exercise and a good night's sleep. Through scientific insights, personal stories, and expert interviews, Killam will invite readers to discover what social health looks like for them. With a combination of experience and original research, Killam demonstrates how to establish an optimal balance between social activity and alone time for introverts and extroverts alike. She also explores some of the astonishing benefits that can come when we work to improve our social connections, including stronger immunity, slower cognitive decline, reduced inflammation and a longer lifespan. With data-driven tools for improving our social health, Killam's book reveals the wealth of benefits we unlock when we connect with each other.
