Where can the lonely look to find connection? In Made to Belong, David Kim discusses five practices for cultivating community in a disconnected world.

In this interview, SOLA Network’s editorial curator Aaron Lee interviews author David Kim, and they discuss: Made to Belong and how David’s best friend broke up with him, the false connection cycle as related to Asian Americans, why and how David’s experiences with loneliness as a Korean American immigrant are up front in his book, poorly modeled small groups and how we can build up better ones in an immigrant and intergenerational context, and why isolation is a seasonal gift and practical tips for finding community for parents of young children.
