Interpersonal disconnection and social isolation lead to or exacerbate depression, drug and alcohol abuse, anxiety, poor tolerance of frustration, and a tendency toward violent behavior.

…it is an accepted fact that social isolation ranks up there with cigarette smoking, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure as risk factors for an early demise.

There are people trying (and failing) to crate the illusion of genuine connection. It is not the illusion that we need. We need the real thing.

The real thing – genuine, human connection – is still available, but it’s best to book it into your schedule. What isn’t booked often doesn’t happen.

In the rush of today’s world you need a plan to make sure you stay genuinely connected with a human you know and like.

The forgotten key to taking advantage of the best in modern life is not intellectual but emotional. It is not that intellect doesn’t matter… But emotion is the on/off switch for advanced thinking.

At the heart of making the most of life today is the ability to treasure and protect your connections to what you care most about: people, places, activities, pets… But you must not have too many connections or none will flourish.

Pick the [connections] that matter most to you and nourish them religiously; make that your top priority in life, and you can’t go wrong.

…unless you consciously and deliberately preserve time to connect with what matters most to you, your connection with whatever it is will erode.

…only by selecting with care to what and to whom you want to give your precious time, attention, and energy will you be able to maintain a positive emotional state and do your best.
