Dr. Will Miller’s Interactive Workshop for Your Team!
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, social isolation is the #1 Health crisis in America and must be urgently addressed. This condition has been caused by our domestic lifestyle common and accepted over decades. It features two related facts about recent and modern life. One is how much Americans move! Our serial relocation includes over 40 million Americans changing location every year! Piling onto this lifestyle disruption now add our habit of devoting at least six hours every single day to looking at our screens! This includes television, computers and our cell phones. Combining these two lifestyle habits, moving and media, we are naturally consumed, focused and increasingly isolated. And among the inevitable consequences Americans are suffering with increasing levels of mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression. And these trends do not even account for the additional social stressors that further exacerbate our separation and isolation such as the pandemic or fears of crime. All these factors increase our fears of not feeling safe. And human functioning depends on us feeling safe! So isolation is not simply loneliness, it is indeed our urgent health condition.
The United States Surgeon General has issued an alarm that the crisis of loneliness is the most significant health urgency in modern American life. Dr. Will has been researching and speaking about this growing problem for a decade and it is documented in his best selling book ‘Refrigerator Rights: Creating Connections and Restoring Relationships” written with his Purdue University colleague Dr. Glenn Sparks. His presentation focuses on the unique American habit of serial relocation and then failing to rebuild necessary close relationships. The presentation hits home as both diagnosis and prescription for returning to a connected and happy life, no matter your age and stage. The presentation is funny, as only a professional standup comedian can deliver, and based on state of the art science and experience. A penetrating hour!
