The Path Out of Loneliness: Finding and Fostering Connection to God, Ourselves, and One Another: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Path Out of Loneliness: Finding and Fostering Connection to God, Ourselves, and One Another" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions. We have lost the art of connection and relationship, and its killing us.
Odds are good that you have a loved one or friend whose struggle with addiction, mental illness, suicidal thoughts, or self-injury stems from loneliness. Maybe its you. Perhaps youre feeling depressed or anxious, struggling with compulsive behavior, or simply questioning whether you are truly seen, loved, and valued. The culprit could well be that youre lonely. Dr. Mark Mayfield understands the crisis well, as it led to him nearly taking his own life as a teen. As a board-certified counselor, he has built a reputable counseling practice on the forefront of brain science and attachment therapies, dedicating his life to helping adults and adolescents confront their feelings of isolation and alienation. He is relied upon by new and experienced counselors for training, and he has become an anchor and guide for community leaders, educators, and faith leaders.
When you read and apply the practices in The Path out of Loneliness, youll develop habits that move you from isolation to connection. Youll learn the importance of attachment, the art of connection, the power of relationships, the priority of personal responsibility, the gift of vulnerability, and the vision of God, who knew from the beginning that its not good for us to be abandoned to ourselves. This book will guide you, the people you love, and the community you live in toward a richer, fuller, healthier life.

Today, our society is facing a new mental health crisis... an epidemic of loneliness. In The Path out of Loneliness, Dr. Mark Mayfield provides readers with a new way to be seen, heard, and loved. A timely must-read!

DR. TIM CLINTON, president of American Association of Christian Counselors, executive director of James Dobson Family Institute

Dr. Mark Mayfields new book, The Path out of Loneliness, skillfully highlights a very urgent problem in our society today: isolation and its physical and mental consequences and what we can do about it. He delves into the many social aspects of loneliness in a way that is both accessible and understandable, providing the reader with the knowledge and resources to combat this far-reaching issue.

DR. CAROLINE LEAF, cognitive neuroscientist, mental health expert, bestselling author

Loneliness is a risk factor for Alzheimers disease and many psychiatric problems. We MUST address this issue head on, or the current mental health pandemic will continue to spiral out of control. Dr. Mark Mayfields new book, The Path out of Loneliness, does this in an elegant way. I highly recommend it.

DANIEL G. AMEN, MD, founder of Amen Clinics, author of Your Brain Is Always Listening

For the price of this book, you get a years worth of counseling... at your own pace. From a smart and compassionate therapist!

JOHN ELDREDGE, New York Times bestselling author, counselor

We were made for community. Yet our brokenness often makes us hide from others and keeps us from loving people well. As a counselor, as a professor, and as one who has served as a pastor, Mayfield integrates principles and practices from faith and science to help us flourish in fellowship with one another. This book will guide you toward wholeness as you and I learn to give and receive love.

REV. DR. GLENN PACKIAM, associate senior pastor at New Life Church, author of Blessed Broken Given

Weve got to start seeing deep connection as a requirement, not an accessory in our lives. Dr. Mayfield has written this incredible, holistic guide to help you fight loneliness in your own life and see how God hardwired you for relationships.

JENNIE ALLEN, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out ofYour Head, founder and visionary of IF:Gathering

Before anyone ever heard of the COVID-19 pandemic, loneliness was already a plague among us, but it was greatly exacerbated by the deadly virus separating us into our socially isolated cocoons. Whatever the cause, loneliness can drag us down into a debilitating spiral of despair, hopelessness, sickness, insanity, even death. Theres a reason prisons reserve solitary confinement as one of their harshest punishments.

Loneliness has its genesis in Genesis, which makes clear it is not what God intended for us. We were lovingly created for relationship and connection with him and with others. Within these pages, walk step-by step with Mark as he gently guides you out of the darkness, offering practical tools such as honesty, vulnerability, reflection, and awareness, and let the insights gleaned lead you to embrace hope as you discover your identity, meaning, and purpose on the other side of loneliness.

DR. WESS STAFFORD, president emeritus of Compassion International, author of Too Small to Ignore and Just a Minute

Power-packed with his own vulnerable stories and strengthened through living examples curated from thousands of counseling clients, Dr. Mayfield guides us through todays pressing problems, recovers original design, and gently and courageously guides us on a path toward hope.

MORGAN SNYDER, author of Becoming a King, vice president of Wild at Heart, founder of BecomeGoodSoil.com

Ive seen Mark Mayfield at work as a counselor, and now I know him as a friend. Ive witnessed firsthand his passion for soul health, and Ive watched him nurture a city toward life. The Path out of Loneliness is a clear call for us to get back to what we were made for connection. This is a lifesaving message. Thank you, Mark, for being a voice.

JON EGAN, music artist, worship pastor at New Life Church

Foreword

I N 2018, the United Kingdom appointed its first Minister for Loneliness. By then we had begun to recognize that for all of our modern advances, we were and are still as alienated as Cain was from Abel. Often, by the time a public health concern reaches the halls of government, one knows that it has long since perniciously been active and debilitating in the community. And so, as I write this at the commencement of 2021, in the case of loneliness, despite our scientific specialization, communication, and affluence, we find ourselves overwhelmed not by one but two pandemics one viral and the other simply human.
