Something More Human

The Loneliness Economy


Listen Later

How does loneliness impact our health and what can we do about it? We just wrapped up The Art and Science of Connection by social scientist Kasley Killam in The Something More Society book club and we're unpacking our key takeaways, outlining how you can benefit from feeling connected in your day to day life.

Sam takes us back to a research fellowship she did in 2017, reminding us that community and connection are key elements in our overall health and confidence.

A 2018 study identifies "The Liking Gap," how we systematically underestimate how much people actually like us.

Elliot reminds us that limiting beliefs can hide in plain sight and how he's tackling his own.
