'Empathetic, enlightening, deeply human' - Michael Harris, author of Solitude

An intimate portrait of loneliness, All the Lonely People sees psychologist Dr. Sam Carr collect hours of conversations with people young & old, including single parents, carers, teenagers & the bereaved – all shared over countless cups of tea.

In stories of love & loss, of trauma & hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms & kitchens, Carr discovers that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.

As Carr interweaves these touching & powerful tales with his own personal narrative, he opens a window onto the inner lives of regular people – the forgotten, misplaced or misjudged – who all feel isolated in some way.

Sparking a profound conversation about a universal emotion, which may simply be an inevitable part of life in an increasingly disjointed world, he questions what we can do to build stronger human relationships, & to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
