The world’s first book exploring the science, the stories, and the spread of social prescribing — featured in NPR, Slate, The Boston Globe, WIRED, Scientific American and more.

Praised as “provocative,” “hopeful,” and “filled with humor, integrity, and great storytelling… sure to change lives and the world”, this book shows the revolutionary potential of social prescribing through before-and-after transformations of people: the aspiring novelist whose art workshop helps her cope with trauma symptoms and rediscover her joy, the passionate researcher whose swimming course helps her taper off antidepressants and feel excited to wake up in the morning, and the army vet whose phone conversations help him form a true friendship.

In this combination of diligent science reporting, moving patient success stories, and surprising self-discovery, THE CONNECTION CURE shows us how to think about health outside of healthcare, and discover lasting and life-changing medicine in our own communities.
