The valuable concepts and methods presented in Hug Therapy gives readers increased connectivity in the world. It also provides an opportunity to engage in an online community with a healthy and hugful message providing inspiration and support. The Hug is something everyone can relate to and deeply benefit from at no cost. Unlike many self-help or self-development books, Hug Therapy has an interactive program that meets readers where they are and supports them hug by hug on their personal journey. This empowers each reader with user friendly tools to enhance and support their efforts to grow and change. Technology and social media are detached and often toxic. There is ongoing research into the impact is has on our mental health. The Hugging Ambassador, Gary Havel Jr. was the first Hugging Ambassador to successfully complete a 21-day hugging journey on Facebook Live. Much attention is focused on how the internet can be used to isolate and disconnect. However, it can also be used powerfully as a tool to be deeply and meaningfully connected to our family, friends and fellow huggers. This book and movement allows for a unique platform for likeminded thinkers and huggers to connect and be able to support each other and create traction around their individual causes to have more connection in the world. In a world with much division, bullying and name calling, Hug Therapy is a platform that can unite leaders in creating powerful positive messages and hugful change.
