"In America, we have gone way too far on to the side of individualism and we have lost the idea of connection with other people. We have forgotten that we need that to be happy. We could adopt the joys of living in a small place where one knows your neighbours but you don't need to live in a village to do that."
- Tina Rosenberg, New York Times magazine writer and author of Join the Club, which explores social cures for positive change, interviewed by Megan Johnston for 'Under the Influence', Spectrum, The Sydney Morning Herald, May 14-15, 2011.
