It takes conscious, consistent and creative effort to make a life worth living.
Ever felt the weight of loneliness even in a crowded room? Emily White, a former lawyer turned writer, knows this feeling all too well. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', she sits down with Eric Zimmer to discuss her journey from solitude to connection. Emily is the author of 'Lonely: Learning to Live with Solitude' and her upcoming book 'Count Me In: How I Stepped Off the Sidelines, Created Connection, and Built a Fuller, Richer, More Lived-in Life'.
She shares her personal experiences and dives into the nuances of loneliness versus depression, shedding light on how these feelings can affect us differently. Emily and Eric explore why loneliness is on the rise and how our culture's obsession with individualism plays a role. They discuss the exhausting nature of feeling isolated even when surrounded by people, a phenomenon Emily calls 'social depression'. She offers practical advice on finding belonging, emphasizing that it takes effort and doesn’t happen overnight.
Emily also touches on the importance of caring and creating public relationships in a world where these values often seem uncool. For anyone grappling with loneliness or looking to build deeper connections, this conversation is both enlightening and encouraging. Emily’s insights remind us that while finding our place in the world can be challenging, it's a journey worth taking.
