Feeling lonely? Here's how to get out of it.

We're back with a bonus episode of "All the Lonely People," a series diving deep into how loneliness shows up in our lives.

This week: how do we get out of loneliness? Brittany hears from listeners about what worked for them. Then, we head over to our friends at NPR's Life Kit to get even more practical steps for connection: NPR health correspondent Allison Aubrey speaks with Dr. Jeremy Nobel about his book, Project UnLonely: Healing Our Crisis Of Disconnection, and they came up with concrete tips for how to be less lonely.
