I came across some mildly terrifying statistics on loneliness and wanted to figure out what was going on.

In this episode Drew and I break down three paradoxes we're calling “The Three Paradoxes of Modern Loneliness” and they are as follows:

1. We are more connected than ever, yet loneliness is at an alltime high
2. The more urbanized our lifestyles become, the lonelier we become
3. Despite being more social, young people are becoming lonelier than old

Join us as we dig into the data and discuss why this all might be happening and what we can do about it. Check it out.
