Ep 57: The Loneliness Epidemic - The Human Need For Social Connections

Dr. Murthy has declared loneliness a serious public health issue, comparable to risks posed by tobacco, obesity, and substance abuse. An official advisory calls for treating social disconnection with the same urgency as these longstanding epidemics. Despite being the most “connected” generation in history, rates of loneliness, depression, and anxiety are at all-time highs. WHO calls loneliness a global public health issue. I had a very good week, positive mindset at work and personal life and that was my motivation to make this video. I also had some very deep meaningful talks with my friends and touched on these topics that led me to understand how deep the scars were for some people. Naturally, I spoke to a few more people - some intentional, some serendipitous. But everything turned out so well that a couple of them told me, "You radiate so much positivity", and these came from acquaintances. As a call to action, I urge you to pick up that phone, turn the camera on and talk to people. That matters a lot. You'll see the difference, only if you try. #lonely #loneliness #relationship #friends #friendship #taketheshot #makeeffort #TakeTheFirstStep #MakeTheMove #StopGames #Talk #Socialize #family #deeperlife
