À propos de ce contenu audio
For thirty years, the office was a friendship vending machine. You showed up, pushed buttons, and out came colleagues who knew your coffee order and shared that knowing look when someone said "synergy" for the fourteenth time. Then one day, the machine just... shut off.
In this episode, Steve digs into why 40% of adults over 45 report feeling lonely, and why men are now lonelier than women for the first time in history. But this isn't a doom and gloom session. Drawing on a fascinating 2025 Japanese study, Steve shares the "Three Friend Rule" and breaks down a practical toolkit for rebuilding your social life: The Inventory (who's actually in your corner?), The Ask (why "we should grab lunch sometime" is the most meaningless lie in the English language), and The Container (the physics engine that makes friendship happen without willpower).
Plus, Steve shares how a chance meeting with a retired actuary named Larry on a hiking trail taught him that conversations about owls are really just permission slips for the deeper stuff.
Your homework: Do the inventory. Find your container. Send the text.
