Why this book?

In The Connection Cure, Julia Hotz reveals how prioritizing connection—with others, nature, art, and community—can have transformative effects on our physical, emotional, and cognitive health. From scientific insights to practical advice, this book offers a fresh perspective on how to cultivate well-being through meaningful engagement.

Traditionally, when we get sick, healthcare professionals ask, “What’s the matter with you?” But around the world, teams of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers have started to flip the script, asking “What matters to you?”

Instead of solely pharmaceutical prescriptions, they offer “social prescriptions”—referrals to community activities and resources, like photography classes, gardening groups, and volunteering gigs.
