Connection: The Easiest Solution to the World's Greatest Problem

Connection: The Easiest Solution to the World's Greatest Problem is a series of 36 conversations with Rabbi Asher Gottesman on the ways we can all reconnect--through what we believe, what we do, what we say, and what we embody--in order to find recovery, healing, and the lost art of human connection.

Rabbi Asher Gottesman grew up surrounded by a family who loved him, a strong and loving Jewish community, and people who showed him that faith was everywhere. But as a young addict, Asher found that the more isolated he became, the easier it was to ignore the communities and connection around him. After recovering from his own addictions, Asher began to rebuild the connections around him - with his family, through his recovery community, and ultimately, with himself. And what he discovered was that connection is the most important tool we have against addiction, depression, and the terrifying feeling that we are all alone.
