After what can only be described as a very lonely year, we want to re-release our episode with the former and upcoming Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, and where he discusses loneliness with Jameela. They cover how widespread the problem of loneliness is, Western culture's tendency to give too much space, social media's role with loneliness, and how to foster connectivity.
Vivek Murthy's book, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World is out now!
If you have a Wrong Turn of your own to share with Jameela, email a voice memo to PersonalDisasterStories@gmail.com, and we may include it in a future episode!
