Have you ever felt lonely, even when surrounded by people? Do you struggle to forge meaningful connections in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world? If so, you're not alone. Loneliness is on the rise in many countries around the world and more people than ever before are feeling alone and isolated.
In today’s episode of my Feel Better Live More podcast, I'm joined for the second time by Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy - the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. He received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard, his medical degree from the Yale School of Medicine, and his Masters in Business Administration from the Yale School of Management. In his role, Dr Murthy helps to advance the health and wellbeing of all Americans and has worked to address several critical public health issues.
In our conversation, we discuss the growing epidemic of loneliness and its impact on our health. Vivek shares profound insights on the far-reaching consequences of loneliness, which extend beyond mental health to include physical health problems, including an increased risk of stroke, dementia, heart disease, and premature death.
We delve into the root causes of the loneliness epidemic, exploring how fundamental shifts in technology and culture have altered the way we connect with others. Vivek emphasises the importance of taking social risks, building communication skills, taking regular social media breaks, the life changing benefits of volunteering, and he talks about the idea that simply dedicating just 10-15 minutes per day, to work out our social muscle will very quickly start to deepen our connections with the world around us.
This thought-provoking conversation is for anyone looking to foster authentic connections in an increasingly disconnected world and deepen the relationships that matter most.

I'm so sick about these "experts" saying this without defining loneliness. I love my own company. People are the main source of frustration. Loneliness is a STATE OF MIND!
Well said, I love my own company❤.
I think people know what loneliness is.
If you love your own company it's solitude not loneliness..... solitude is a bliss just enjoy😊
some people can handle it better than others
I love my own company too I get that I thrive on being alone. But I don’t feel lonely I feel connected to myself. Both you and I aren’t experiencing loneliness, we’re experiencing being comfortable alone and feelings of comfort and connection with ourselves.
Loneliness isn’t a state of mind, it’s a real emotional pain that people experience. We’re social beings in relationship with ourselves and others whether we like it or not.
I retired in Mexico, I observe people, men, women, teenagers interacting all the time, laughing, even though they don't have much, they are happy
Its the norm in many so called "poor countries"or poorer countries,intergenerational interaction and interacting with strangers is totally normal.The idea you would ignore someone or not even give eye contact whilst waiting ina queue or on a bus and not make some kind of contact even if its minimal is alien in many many other cultures.
they don't have much? They have it all ... family, good food, history, culture, happiness, health, etc.
One of the reasons I want to retire there as well
On the outside they may have nothing but on the inside they have everything and that is enough. ,
Mexico is an entire country, not a town. Whether communities are laughing depends on where they are in the country.
Their is a difference in being alone and loneliness, being alone in one’s own company can be rewarding in many ways whereas loneliness is a feeling of isolation from your friends family and community
Spot on. 😊
If you're lonely, reach out to a lonely person and create a tradition of social connection (gives you something to look forward to). I know society has conditioned us that approaching other humans for interaction is eccentric, but there are so many lonely people out waiting for your weird moxie.
First he makes you afraid of being around ppl, then he gives you whiplash and makes you afraid of being isolated.

'....people', it is really not that hard
An amazing video! Thank you for both awesome guys and I can feel their kindness and concern for a better world.
I hope we can have more videos like this ! 😇💯
Thank you for a very warm and insightful conversation with Dr.Murthy…. I really enjoyed the conversation and it gave me personally a good and compassionately feeling.
❤️

Music, Choir, singing, ....
Playing instruments
Playing tennis, gymnastics, martial arts,....

Isolation is a good opportunity to be alone with your thoughts and feelings.
What people need is the choice to be alone or with other people at will.
Needy, insecure, clingy. Desperate people are also extremely unattractive on a romantic sexual and even business level. When people try too hard it’s a turn-off. Gimme gimme gimme…
What people need is to learn to be less insecure and less desperate. More confident.
@Noumenon4Idolatry Isolation and being alone are two different things. You can choose to be alone, isolation is forced. Being alone and loneliness are two different thing as well, loneliness is not being alone by yourself - you can experience loneliness in a crowd of people.
@@rockingredpoppy9119 These words have always been used interchangeably. I like to isolate myself. I also call it seeking solitude. I do it to find myself or to look within.
Lonely is mostly a feeling.
A feeling that someone will fill a hole.
It’s when people look outside their selves for happiness. They become dependent or codependent on others.
People can find inner peace and happy ness in prison. There are monks who spend a lifetime mostly alone and they do not all die young.
one can be in the company of people and still feel lonely ! it is a state of mind. SHORT ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM - Loneliness comes in when we dont have a connection with our creator.
Since man is a social being we *try* to make connections with people, try to engage with something - but these are all masks, trying to help ourselves. *SOLUTION* - stop pretending. Remove the mask of being fulfilled, contend with things , titles, and impressing people. Be true to ourselves by Answering the question - who we are , why are we here, where are we going - *SEEK the truth and one will STOP feeling and being lonely*
So true! But this channel's platform is actually Darwinian doctrine that's blinding them from seeing. God be with you. Worry is what the guest confessed he has...not good.
Loneliness is not about being around people or just due to lack of company,many can feel lonely in families or with so called friends or in groups...sometimes we are in the wrong group or we are not in safe place in order to be honest about ourselves,we fear judgement or rejection or redicule.
Yes ultimately it is about finding acceptance and connection within with our true self or however you might describe it but sometimes we need relationship in order to be able to find that connection,to get feedback and interaction.
If loneliness is so overwhelming then as they say we reach for ways to sooth the pain that might not be healthy so sometimes we need another trusted person to help us know who we are.This is what is called attachment.IPeople literally kill themselves for lack of that connection or attachment and will be addcited to drugs or all sorts of things to avoid that pain.
You said it,we are social beings and when we fear being disconnected or alientaed from our social group or society it can lead to absolute fear and despair,to know we can be ultimately connceted to G-d or who we are inide does not always help if we feel so alienated from ourselves.
Loneliness kills,it is literally killing people thorugh drugs,suicide,overeating and other inhealthy self destructive habits,it is not something that can be easy to "get over"or understand and there can be alot of shame involved.

Priceless!!! Thank you!!!
As a person of Indian descent, it makes me so happy to see two intelligent, articulate doctors discussing topics like this. Thank you Dr Murthy and Dr Chatterjee.
Same as an Indian woman I do feel these times are the best for us especially in the US tv! Feel so seen!
Don't forget to balance your national vanity with the many roomsful of Indian scammers trying to swindle the elderly and naive out of everything they have. Then there's your caste system and sectarianism.
I totally get that loneliness is a problem for many people. What about us who are introverts and feel there's too many people around us most of the time? Is loneliness a problem for my health if I don't feel lonely? I mean, if I enjoy being on my own (my dog is always around though so maybe I'm not alone), is that solitude a problem for my longevity? I wish the experts distinguished between being extrovert versus introvert, since we have vastly different needs.
Loneliness has a consistent definition. Even introverts want and need a certain level of connection and if they’re not getting that, they’re lonely. Someone happily enjoying their own company isn’t lonely.
thank you, Dr. Murthy, for your insight - and also for wearing uniform. Nice to see a bit of formality and adult clothing!
Loneliness in Western societies is a natural consequence of the promotion of extreme individualism that occured during the Cold war to combat the "collectivism" of the socialist camp.
Wrong. It’s a product of social media and technology. Why do you think everyone in the east wants to move to the west?
And that's the ultimate truth. Americans specifically are very private, individualistic and I would say selfish, to the point where they are awkward and avoidant. They do not understand that this type of interaction is damaging to themselves and to their society. One is supposed to have people that they care about OTHER than family. Your family s not all there is to get attached to. I hope people wake up and change.
@@IrinaD-dh5en Or, you can go back to the culture where you are comfortable.
To be lonely, is only because you DON'T LIKE THE PERSON YOUR ALONE WITH.
Or you're not grateful for the peace and quiet. There's so many things you can do when you are forced to be alone. You don't have to be bored or wanting for company. Read books, call on the Lord, ask Him to put joy in your heart. Know that "this too shall pass," just like the "plandemic."
Nope. Biology people need people.
@@serenityjewel I started to be free when I discovered that the cage was made of thoughts.
Most podcasters wouldn't recognize Satan if they were seated across the table from him conducting an interview.
He is a wonderful man!
I’d rather be alone than deal with shitty people and the complications that come with them.
Who would be taking advice from the "doctor" who advised people to breathe in their own Co2 all day long. Remember when you had to wear a mask when you went into a restaurant but as soon as you were seated you could take off the mask (because the "virus" doesn't spread when you're eating). Remember when you couldn't sit on the beach? Remember when they closed down all the gyms but left the liquor stores open so people could buy their ciggies and alcohol? Guess who was behind the "science" there? Take a wild guess....
It's absolutely surreal... The average follower, including those within the medical community, significantly lack the ability to think critically.
You need help
@@serenityjewel Anyone who still believes the narrative needs help. The abysmal SOC was responsible for poorer PT outcomes. The short-lived suboptimal products never stopped transmission. Unfortunately, they were responsible for numerous serious AEs. Thankfully, ethical scientists continue to publish relevant data, including elevated i g g 4 levels following several doses.
@@celticsunise4ever No
@@serenityjewel profound... what's your area of expertise?
These blanket statements made by medical professionals are just full of holes. Nothing affects everyone the same. We are all wired differently. There's a difference in being alone and being lonely.
Of course! All of your points are included in this conversation.
exactlyl. It's not isolation that effects the individual, but how the individual deals with the isolation. Just like all those people who jumped out of 10th story windows when banks failed in 1929. They couldn't handle it, but others weren't so afraid.
AMAZING AND IMPORTANT TOPIC!! Especially, elder-orphans
Conflict of Interest Concerns
During his tenure as a pandemic advisor, Murthy maintained a lucrative side business as a coronavirus consultant to the private sector. He was paid millions of dollars in coronavirus-related consulting fees for companies such as Carnival Corporation’s cruise lines, Airbnb’s rental properties, and others. This has raised concerns about his credibility as a spokesperson on the pandemic response and presidential adviser.
What is Rangan up too? Was he in a cave during what this man did?
Yes he did, but what is the conflict of interest? That he might have influenced the course of the pandemic by advising groups and businesses how to protect themselves, prevent transmission, etc? And that would conflict with public advice? He didn’t profit by decreasing incidence of spread, did he? Who better to provided consultation to groups about disease prevention than an expert scientist? That’s like saying an expert teacher who is employed full time in a school system should not be a consultant to a non profit or graduate school that wants to provide ideas for improving schools. It’s never been a conflict of interest for physicians to provide education to anyone other than his/her patients, just for example.
It seems to me the interests are perfectly aligned.
@@nancycy9039 He's a charming opportunist aka NPD. The controlled narrative caused significant harms on a number of levels and began collapsing a few years ago. Thankfully, ethical scientists continue to publish factual data citing a number a serious AEs including but not limited to elevated i g g 4. BTW, the abysmal SOC was responsible for poorer PT outcomes, including deaths.
@@dedetudor. Excellent question!
@@dedetudor. My thoughts exactly. Do they think no one has been paying attention the last 4 years? Who wants to bet they're in bed together?
Explain monks nuns yogis dark retreats etc.
My dissenting comments have been deleted. I will be unsubbing from this channel pronto!
I came back to see how many of us were taken down. This man is a monster in disguise.
This algorithm is becoming highly sophisticated... Did the remarks disappear within minutes or hours? That being said, interviewing a guest who participated in the appalling theater is revealing!
@@celticsunise4ever mine can disappear immediately. When trying to click to post I get a "404 Retry" but it won't post.
@@dedetudor. Happens often! Vanishing immediately, seconds or minutes = algorithm. It also holds comments for review and may post several minutes later...
@@celticsunise4ever how in the world are we going to overcome this? I can also have a comment post and then come back when someone in the reply thread posts and mine is gone. The 1st amendment?
Do airline pilots feel lonely, too?
We need a places to be together
2 Indian doctors speaking in 2 different accents …cool
Permaculture to save the world
Is Permaculture another name for Jesus Christ? OK...

Perhaps these so called young people who live their lives on line..start with putting the phone down and join an evening class and or go do some voluntary work..stop making excuses for people we have a choice
Why is he dressed as a pilot!!! I need to listen to more..
This is another point at the danger of PORNOGRAPHY- an act encouraging loneliness and rewarding your ability to escape reality
No matter how much time I have, I still need more time to study God's Word. "Study to show thyself approved unto God ........." Studying God's Word is the only way to change our negative thoughts to positive thoughts. It certainly takes time, and it makes me so full and happy! ❤
Amen to that.
You are the word of god and always has been
@@MilanLS7 Well, now you have to explain that one in a way a 7 year old child can understand it, can ya? I'll now hold my breath.................................................
@@1TimothyFourTen Imagine being able to do do and create what ever you desire to be.
Take a sheet of paper and draw a line, what we refer to as god did just the same once.
Your word and your actions are completely your own.
Just like we we’re created by a creator once we now hold the same power to create just as much.
The very house we are sleeping in was once but an idea a man had.
You touched on the note of you being ask to knock on the neighbors door and introduce yourself to the meet the kid who looks your age. What I’ll like to say about this is that there are many who would say that they travel all continents and haven’t even cross the street to introduce themselves to their neighbors
You know...I have had neighbors approach me. But for some reason, it is always awkward with Americans. You have to look at the culture. I'm Eastern European and I feel like we are more genuine or genuinely open to people, to new friendships, to new relationships, close relationships. I don't feel like Americans are the same. On the surface, they are friendly and smiley but in reality they are closed off. It's surface interaction with them. Just my humble opinion.
No matter what we say, loneliness is an issue.old and young. I have young people who are very lonely for many reasons. And they all know it and feel miserable about it and anxious.
@@IrinaD-dh5en As an American, we are friendly, but we also like our personal space. I mind my own business and prefer that everyone else does too.
This is one of the worse podcast of Dr. Chatterjee. I agree with this comment ---> " I'm so sick about these "experts" saying this without defining loneliness. I love my own company. People are the main source of frustration. Loneliness is a STATE OF MIND!
