Are you lonely? It's a hard question to ask yourself, and an even harder question to answer. After all, some people spend a lot of time alone and aren't lonely, while others are surrounded by friends and family but feel alone every day. The good news is that this experience is universal - we all go through it, and it's just one part of a larger framework of human connection. This week on the podcast we have the unbelievable pleasure of welcoming Dr. Vivek Murthy whose work in the White House and beyond has focused on bringing empathy and connection to an increasingly disconnected world. We hope you get as much out of listening to this interview as we got putting it together. You can find Dr. Murthy's book here, or give him a follow on instagram @drvivekmurthy Do you have a question for Rachel or Dave?
