Count Me In is a "bigger" book than Lonely. That's because I touch on so many subjects -- such as faith, neighborhood, home, and volunteering -- that feed into connection and belonging. Writing the book was an adventure, and an awful lot of fun. I'm looking forward to feedback. ...more

Quotes by Emily White (?)

“I felt as though i were being shown a photo of someone well loved, and long dead. I didn't want to be reminded of what I no longer seemed to have.”
― Emily White

“Loneliness is like a set of binoculars that’s trained on the social world. This has actually been proven. Psychologists have long theorized that, when the need to belong is unmet, people automatically start to pay more attention to the social world around them. “It’s like when you’re hungry, and you notice all the food signs on the highway,” says Gardner. “When you’ve been left out, or when you feel unconnected, you notice social cues.”
― Emily White, Lonely: A Memoir
