This One Wild and Precious Life

The Path Back to Connection in a Fractured World.

by Sarah Wilson

This is not just a book for single people introverts or the self-proclaimed lone wolf You can be in a crowded room or at a dinner table with your spouse and children and still feel powerfully lonely and disengaged

Forty-six percent of Americans sometimes or always feel lonely and loneliness is a public health hazard that rivals alcoholism smoking and obesity. Meanwhile as our cultural sense of disconnection grows our endless drive for more —more social media more technology overconsumption workaholism—grows too. But what if we were to shut off our devices and simply sit with ourselves in what Wilson calls radical aloneness? Could this be the antidote to the profound sense of disconnection that we feel? In the voice-driven style that built a community around her last book, Wilson embarks on a personal and spiritual journey that is destined to become a movement.
