The New Rules Podcast

Are YOU lonely?

In a society built for fast-paced communication, with tools to link people together from all over the world, we still find ourselves feeling alone.

In Episode 37, we take the necessary dive into why human beings are a “Loneliness Epidemic.”

In order to solve loneliness, we first must give it an effective diagnosis - which we’ll find by examining the topics below:

• What are the practical symptoms of loneliness?

• How we are relationally malnourished

• Why conflict is a necessary thing, not a bad thing

• How Adrian personally struggles with feeling alone

• Why leadership is inherently lonely

• How do we USE the tools we have been given?

• How to ‘sit in the mud’ with someone

• Why do we isolate further when we feel lonely?

• How would Adrian FIX the loneliness epidemic?

Feeling alone can manifest itself in countless different ways. It is vital that we understand nuance when approaching the loneliness epidemic.

If you or someone you know is struggling with loneliness, reach out to a friend or a trusted mentor for guidance.

If you find yourself facing depression or suicidal thoughts, you are not alone. Reach out to any of the following resources in times of need:
