Episode notes

The Harvard study on human behavior highlights that individuals with deep personal relationships are happier than those without, emphasizing that material wealth or status does not equate to happiness. Personal connections significantly impact emotional and physical health, with lonely seniors facing a 59% higher risk of health decline and a 45% greater risk of death. Loneliness has been compared to the health risks of smoking 15 cigarettes daily.

Retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne is a recalibrated warrior, motivational speaker, actor, author and an advocate for veterans and amputees. Travis’s New York Times bestselling memoir, Tough as They Come, is currently available on sale in bookstores everywhere. Despite losing portions of both arms and legs from an IED while on active duty in Afghanistan, Travis continues to overcome life’s challenges, breaking physical barriers and defying odds.
