#loneliness #psychology #podcast #bookreview


You know that crushing feeling of being alone even when you're surrounded by people?
Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy discovered something shocking: loneliness isn't just an emotion—it's a deadly health crisis that's literally killing people faster than obesity and smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

In this deep dive into his groundbreaking book "Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World," you'll discover:
✅ The 3 Types of Loneliness - Why you can feel lonely even with a loving spouse or tons of friends (most people get this completely wrong)
✅ The Biology of Loneliness - How your body treats social isolation like a physical emergency and what it's doing to your immune system, sleep, and lifespan
✅ Why This is Happening Now - The cultural shifts and technology changes creating a loneliness epidemic
✅ The 3 Circles Solution - The exact number and types of relationships you need for complete social health (based on 80+ years of Harvard research)
✅ Building Connection Inside-Out - Why self-connection comes first and how serving others breaks the loneliness cycle

This isn't another "think positive" self-help approach. This is hard science from America's top public health expert showing you exactly how to diagnose which type of connection you're missing and build the relationships that will literally save your life.
