E78: We All Need Community: Reflections on Karen Eddington

In our hectic world, feeling isolated can happen to many of us. Amy and Mark reflect on what we learned in the last episode from Karen Eddington about the “leave me alone era.” We discuss:

• How isolation contributes to burnout.

• The importance of creating community – not just co-workers – in the workplace.

• Personal applications and examples of Karen’s research from “The Under Pressure Project.”
