This chapter discusses the negative effects of retirement on social isolation and mental health, highlighting the disconnection retirees face from their social circle at work, the increase in TV-watching leading to social isolation, and the concerning trend of disconnectedness among people.
This episode is part one of my conversation with Dr. Mauro Guillén, a Spanish-American sociologist, political economist, and management educator. I know him because he is the former dean of the Cambridge Business School. He's also a fellow at Queens College, so we share that in common too. He has built a series of research helping us look at those great trends, how they'll collide, and how they'll reshape the future of everything so that we can zoom out to get that perspective in order to zoom in and make tradeoffs that allow us to design a life that really matters.
