FUNCTIONAL LONELINESS
Why We Feel Alone Together and What Helps Us ReconnectBy Dr. Josh Harari
Length2h 13m
About this audiobook
You have a full life. You're just not being felt in it.
The Functional Loneliness is for the person who answers every message, holds everyone together, and still goes home to a quiet that doesn't feel like peace. The person whose life looks fine from the outside — and who's exhausted from maintaining that view.
This isn't a book about being alone. It's about being under-felt. About the gap between the connections you have and the connection you actually need. About why the most capable, social, seemingly-together people are often the loneliest — and why nobody checks on them.
Part psychology, part cultural critique, part honest conversation —Dr. Josh Harari in The Functional Loneliness names something most people have felt but never had words for. And then, carefully, it shows a way through.
