Welcome to the aggressive life. Youlo. Times we think about aggression itis just making really bold moves. Maybe it's a physical challenge, maybe it's an occupational change, maybe it's a financial investment. All those things are good. All those things should be which have an aggressive attitude towards. But what about friendship? Friendship just sounds kind of soft. It sounds soft, but it isn't soft. How many friends do you have? What is a friend? How do you find your friends? The answer to questions like those tends to be influenced by two factors, your age and your gender. The older we get, the fewer friends we all tend to have. And studies also routinely show that men are disproportionately more lonely and isolated than their female counterparts. In fact, one studys found that nearly half of all men reported having no friends, zero, nata, none that they felt comfortable discussing serious matters with, things like money, work or life health issues. I believe the biggest pandemic in the world, the longest running pandemic in the world, the most lethal pandemic in the world, is loneliness. A it's leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Substance abuse, self harm, mental health issues. And that's where our guest comes in today. I love what i have people on the aggressive life dirt who know more than me, which is about everybody. Yes, that's about good to have an expert. Yet's about everybody. And especially in this one cause. This has kind of been a stump speech for me, for mine. For while men are four times more likely to have suicide than are women, three times more likely to have mental illness than women, two times more likely to have a health abuse related incidents than women. And my little pet theory has been this loneliness. My pet theory has been the fact that men simply are not connected with one another. So whether your male or femaliar, can get something out of to day. Today are our guest is author, playwright, comedian, max dickens. He proposed, actually, i shouldn't tell you what he did.
