Toward the end of her life, Dr. Ruth Westheimer shifted from discussing sexual dysfunction to the issue of loneliness, which she believed was often shrouded in shame.
Dr. Ruth understood loneliness deeply due to her experiences as a German Jewish refugee and having multiple personal losses, making her uniquely qualified to address this epidemic.
In her final book, The Joy of Connections, Dr. Ruth presents 100 strategies for building stronger bonds, emphasizing that loneliness is nothing to be ashamed of.
Dr. Ruth's core message was about taking action against loneliness and embracing the agency to change one’s circumstances, rather than waiting for connections to happen.
