Social health is just as vital as physical and mental health. Yet most people have never heard of it - until now.

Exercise. Eat well. Meditate. Conventional health advice focuses on the body and mind, overlooking relationships. In this groundbreaking book, social scientist Kasley Killam introduces a crucial third pillar: social health. People with strong relationships have a lower risk for disease, while those without are up to 53 per cent more likely to die from any cause. Just as we exercise our physical muscles, we must strengthen our social muscles.

Blending cutting-edge research, inspiring stories, and practical tools, The Art and Science of Connection is a powerful antidote to our lonely times. Discover how to:

  • Assess and improve your social health using a simple, effective framework.
  • Build fulfilling connections and a stronger sense of community where you live, work, and play.
  • Join the growing movement toward a socially healthy world.
