Episode notes

When you lose track of time, I have a little chapter in my book about the power of travel. One of the reasons why people speak fondly of travel and making friends is because they probably are not on their phone as much as they would be when they're home. And that's what being an adult really is, is that kind of experience of conversation, of connection. We usually don't have the tools for facilitating that after college.

Smiley Poswolsky says the average American hasn't made a new friend in the last five years. We discuss why loneliness is a growing epidemic and how we can combat it by connecting with others. Smiley offers practical habits and playful reminders on how to create meaningful connections, make new friends, and deepen relationships.
