The Relationship Between Loneliness and Health and Relationships

The people of Rosetta Pennsylvania were an immigrant community that came over from Italy and they established themselves in this little hillside town. They all lived in these multi-generational homes and if somebody got sick the whole community took care of the sick person. If somebody was financially downtrodden then the others would help out, so it's a very nurturing community where everybody kind of took care of each other. There's a whole chapter in mind over medicine about the effect of loneliness and health with the title "Lonely poisons the body"
