Former Surgeon General Reveals What This Means For You

Author and psychotherapist, Bryan Robinson, PhD, interviews Vivek about his upcoming book.


"Building a more connected society is about returning to who we were ultimately designed to be—beings who are connected to and need one another. We evolved over thousands of years to rely on each other. Strong social connections were essential to our survival. So when we experience connection, it feels like home. It feels good. If we are committed to designing our lives—technology, layout of cities, the nature of work, schools and communities—to foster a stronger connection, then I believe we can create a more connected world which is less divided and healthier. That’s what ultimately gives me hope."

I completely agree with the sentiment that loneliness at work is a serious concern. In my own experience, I found that connecting with coworkers through shared activities, like playing games during breaks, made a significant difference. One game that really helps foster connections is Slope Game; it’s simple yet engaging, and it encourages teamwork. By incorporating such lighthearted moments, we can cultivate a more connected work environment where everyone feels valued.

This piece beautifully illustrates the fundamental human need for connection and its impact on our well-being. The author rightly points out that our evolution has wired us for social reliance, and designing for connection is vital. Consider exploring solutions like community gardens or shared workspaces to further strengthen social bonds. Thank you for this hopeful perspective! Papa's Freezeria

These are not just any women—Russian Escorts in South Extension are fantasies sculpted into reality. Their sensuality is deep, their touch – dominant but gentle, and their nights – dangerously unforgettable.
