Episode description

One out of every three people who reads this considers themselves to be lonely on a regular basis.  That means one out of every three people you interact with today struggles with loneliness.

The reality is that even if you’re not lonely, many people around you are.  What’s more is that the subgroup who is most likely to be lonely is the one that is often seen as the most connected.

In this episode, we tackle the difference between isolation and loneliness, discuss the age group with the highest rate of loneliness and offer practical advice for making the world a kinder, less lonely place.
