Count Me In

How I Stepped Off the Sidelines, Created Connection, and Built a Fuller, Richer, More Lived-in Life

By Emily White | Publisher: McClelland & Stewart

About the book

Now available in paperback, a book that combines the intelligence of Quiet with the personal stories and realistic advice of The Happiness Project. Count Me In is for everyone who feels their life could use a little more real-life connection, at home, in their neighbourhoods, and in the wider world.

     A thoughtful, lively, and practical roadmap for anyone who wants to feel more connected, and who wants their life to feel bigger, more grounded, and true.
     Emily White's first, nationally bestselling book, Lonely: Learning to Live with Solitude, made her an international expert on loneliness as a distinct condition (not just part of depression or the result of social awkwardness), intensified by many of the hallmarks of modern life.
     Count Me In is a warm, readable combination of personal memoir and solid research framed as a \"come with me\" guide, as Emily looks both deeply into her own and her family's past and broadly into contemporary culture to discover the path to feeling more connected. She tackles home, neighbourhood, faith, and more, and brings an incisive, questioning mind as well as an open and willing heart to her quest. As a result Count Me In is a mix of practical advice and lived experience, a rich reading experience, and a practical tool for improving one's life.
