Human beings are the most social animals on the planet, and the pandemic has uncovered some essential insights into what it means to be human, and most importantly, how we can develop robust relationships that can survive.
When was the last time you truly felt connected to someone? In this episode, Dr. Steve Ilardi and Hew James tackle the profound impact of social isolation brought on by the pandemic. They dive into why our brains crave connection and how the lack of it affects our mental health. Through their chat, they uncover the differences between shallow and deep relationships and why belonging is more than just being around people.
With personal anecdotes and scientific insights, they offer practical advice on rebuilding meaningful connections in a world that's been turned upside down. Whether you're struggling with loneliness or just looking to strengthen your social ties, this episode is packed with valuable tips to help you foster relationships that can weather any storm.
