Why You Feel Alone Even When You’re Connected

It's never been easier to connect with others yet loneliness is reportedly the fastest-growing epidemic worldwide.

He also expands the conversation beyond human interaction alone, pointing to a living, sentient Universe and the importance of participating fully in community, even when that comes with challenge.
