RSA | RSA Short | Vivek Murthy on Loneliness and the Power of Connection @rsaorg | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
If you are lonely, if you’ve ever been lonely, you are not alone.
Loneliness is extraordinarily common. It is a universal part of the human experience – a natural signal like hunger or thirst that our body sends us when we lack something that we need for our survival, which is social connection.
In the latest RSA Short, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy explains how we can get better at spotting the signs of loneliness in people around us, and the simple steps we can all take to build a more connected society, and a more connected life.
Speaker: Dr Vivek Murthy, 21st Surgeon General of the United States
