Soul School – Lesson 39: New Insights on Loneliness

Welcome to Soul School!

Soul School comes out each Wednesday (Hump Day – Midweek in the work week).

Today, I am featuring new insights on the topic of loneliness based on a recent article you can read here at Nautilus Magazine.

When we feel alone, we sense that there is something wrong. When we feel lonely we may think there is a problem with us and we might even feel ashamed. Research about who feels lonely, what happens from prolonged loneliness, and the actually FUNCTION of loneliness will probably surprise you.

Enjoy this episode.
