Synopsis

Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions. We have lost the art of connection and relationship, and it’s 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 it’s you. Perhaps you’re 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 you’re 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, you’ll develop habits that move you from isolation to connection. You’ll 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 it’s 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.

Goodreads review by Josiah on September 24, 2021

The Path out of Loneliness by Dr. Mark Mayfield is a timely book, as the epidemic of loneliness has only increased over the last 18 months (or so) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Mayfield is able to expertly weave his own personal experiences into the book as one who has dealt with loneliness as well......more

Dr. Mayfield has his finger on the pulse of today's culture. Despite myriad ways of technological connections, loneliness has become an epidemic.

Goodreads review by Etienne on September 24, 2021

I was given a copy to review. I'm impressed with his conferences at New Life, him speaking at ACCC, his counseling practice, and The White House wanting his input. He wrote about The Problem, God's Design and Practical Solutions. He explains the brain and gives us tools to change. I appreciate the b......more
