Loneliness in the Modern World — Finding Peace Between Silence and Connection
Manage episode 519823087 series 3663404
In a world where we can reach anyone with a single message, why do so many of us still feel alone?
In this episode, Dima explores loneliness not as something to “fix,” but as a human signal — one that can feel painful, peaceful, or strangely honest.
Through a personal story from Cambodia, reflections on modern connection, and research from John Cacioppo (Loneliness) and Eric Klinenberg (Going Solo), we look at the many shapes loneliness can take — the kind that hurts, and the kind that heals.
This episode also includes books and films that deepen the conversation:
Books: Loneliness (Cacioppo), Going Solo (Klinenberg), All About Love (bell hooks), The Art of Solitude (Stephen Batchelor).
Films: Her (2013), Lost in Translation (2003), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013), Into the Wild (2007).
