Thank you for joining us for episode 490 of Live Happy Now.

We live in a world where we're connected to our devices 24-7, but how connected are we to what really matters?

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and this week I'm talking with Dr. Adam Dorsey, a licensed psychologist, executive coach, and host of the award-winning podcast, Super Siked.

In his new book by the same name, Adam explores four types of essential connections that we all need but might not be getting in our busy, distracted lives.

In this episode, he breaks down why each type of connection is so important and even better,

he tells us what we can do to find each one.

Let's have a listen.

Adam, thank you for joining me on Live Happy Now.

I'm so happy to be with you, Paula.

I just, you are one of the people who just makes me immediately feel like talking all day.

Yay, because I'm going to make you do a lot of talking today.

So this kind of works out.

Totally.

Oh, I love the topic that you're talking about because science tells us how important connections are.

I've had so many people on the show who talk about loneliness and the importance of connections,

but nobody has broken it down the way that you do.

So I want to know, first of all, what made you decide to write about this topic?

I'm so glad you asked that question.

I had aimed to write several books and never continued.

I just never was able to see it through.

But this one, absolutely, to borrow from a term from Irv Yalom out of Stanford, it bit me in

the ass.
