Summary
"Humans are social creatures. Just as we need water, air, food, and shelter, we need community, yet feelings of isolation and loneliness have been on the rise (exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic), even for people who have full social calendars and large networks. Everyone has heard the phrase "It takes a village," but how exactly do we find our village? In Build Your Village, author Florence Ann Romano posits that a successful support system requires six types of villagers, and she takes the reader step-by-step through the process of creating, nurturing, and, when necessary, rebuilding a village. Exercises and action steps help the reader establish a caring community through meaningful connections. "It takes a village" isn't just a phrase about raising children; it's a call to action for each one of us to find-and become-the villagers needed to build lasting relationships, dispel isolation, and improve overall happiness and well-being"--, Provided by publisher
