"Where Did Everybody Go? reframes loneliness from something we should be ashamed of to a built-in survival tool, which, frankly, makes a lot more sense. It's a guide for building something new, for investing in a friend, or for just figuring out the difference between bad dating advice and the male loneliness epidemic. If you've ever felt like the weight of the world was on your shoulders, and you were all alone carrying it, listen to this audiobook. You'll laugh, you'll feel seen, and you might actually be inspired to start that group chat you’ve been putting off."
