What do people have to say about Dr. Silard’s approach to understanding loneliness?

To become more familiar with Dr. Silard’s approach to understanding loneliness, you can watch his videos below or read some of his articles on loneliness in Psychology Today—such as:

“How to Be Lonely Without Becoming Depressed”

“Transforming Loneliness”

“Is Your Phone Making Your Lonelier?”

“Managing Loneliness on Valentine’s Day in the Pandemic?”

In Fast Company: “This Valentine’s Day, Reframe Alone Time as a Perspective-Taking Opportunity”

Featured in USA Today: “Valentine’s Day Got You Down? You’re Not Alone in Feeling Lonely”

You can also read his new book, Screened In: The Art of Living Free in the Digital Age.

Here are a few endorsements of Screened In that speak to how Dr. Silard addresses how our phones/devices are increasing our loneliness:

“Armed with a prodigious volume of research, Screened In invites the reader to question their fundamental assumptions about how much technology and social media usage is safe. Through our device obsessions, we are creating a very lonely world! Dr. Silard provides us with a fascinating and well-researched book that will help us to end this addictive cycle.”

—Philip Zimbardo, former President, American Psychological Association, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lucifer Effect

“The game of life was thrown a major curve ball when the first iPhone was released in 2007. If loneliness, anxiety, and depression are the indicators—as Anthony Silard compellingly makes the case, with a raft of largely unknown research to back him up—then most of us are striking out. If you want to get on base in the field of meaningful, supportive human relationships, this is the one book you can’t do without. Buy it and adapt!”

—Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.
