"You hear it all the time: We humans are social animals. We need to spend time together to be happy and functional, and we extract a vast array of benefits from maintaining intimate relationships and associating with groups. Collaborating on projects at work makes us smarter and more creative. Hanging out with friends makes us more emotionally mature and better able to deal with grief and stress." -- Leon Neyfakh, "The Power of Lonely"

- It is also a commonplace -- and maybe true -- that it has become harder for us to be alone: Do you agree?
