In the past 18 months, many of us have had more time to reflect on our own solidarity, and for those who are very successful in their careers it can feel very isolating. You may have a lot of money and all the things you want in life, but you still feel empty.

Can you relate to this?

Ironically, you are not alone in feeling isolated, so in this episode I'm going to help you fight loneliness with some scientific insights and advice including:

• In a recent survey, nearly half of US adults reported feeling that they are always, or mostly always alone.
• When you're looking to make a new connection, remember, that not everyone is interested in making new friends, and that's okay so quickly move on to someone who is interested.
• Create strong connections by finding common ground.

Good relationships are about authenticity and trust. So if you're feeling lonely, remember the next person you meet may be feeling exactly the same.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{6:02} Not everyone wants to be your friend, and that's okay.
