"It's more important than ever that we re-think and harness the power of relationships and recognize that they're not only nice to have, but they are necessary to have - they're an essential part of the foundation that makes us healthy, well and strong."

Vivek Murthy, former and current Surgeon General and all around great person speaking with Shankar Vedantam on Hidden Brain in 2020. I highly recommend listening to the entire podcast until the very end (50 min). Vivek has a big heart and a big message. His latest book is called "Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World".
