2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness. He has co-founded a number of organizations: VISIONS, an HIV/AIDS education program in India; Swasthya, a community health partnership in rural India training women as health providers and educators; software company TrialNetworks; and the grassroots physicians organization Doctors for America.
Since leaving government service, Dr. Murthy has continued to focus on loneliness and social connection. His book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World will be published this spring by Harper Collins.

Hi 4woody, I think that the world has only recently woken up to how many people of all ages suffer dreadfully when they are subjected to loneliness and physical as well as mental health can suffer. In this fast-paced world the problem seems to be growing fast so any literature that focus on it is certainly welcome.
