This book reflects on the unprecedented changes to our lives and the impact on our behaviour as we lived through social isolation during the global Covid-19 pandemic. From sociable creatures of ha...bit, we were forced into a period of uncertainty, restriction and risk, physically separated from families and friends. Packed with guidance and coping strategies for lockdown, top psychologist, David Cohen, explores the impact of this wide-spread quarantine on our relationships, our children, our mental health and our daily lives. Benedictine monks, hermit popes, Dorothy Sayers, Daniel Defoe (who made the isolated Robinson Crusoe a hero), Sigmund Freud and a rabbi's angry dog are all among the cast of characters as we are taken on a whistle-stop tour through plagues in history and brain science, to the importance of introspection and how to make meaning from lockdown.
