Summary
In this episode, I sit down with human-connection expert and broadcaster Riaz Meghji , author of Every Conversation Counts: The 5 Habits of Human Connection That Build Extraordinary Relationships. It's a great book that I highly recommend. I have the audio and hardcopy versions. We unpack why so many people feel "connected" online—but still lonely in real life. We discuss loneliness and isolation as a modern "social pandemic," and ways to build trust and deepen relationships through everyday conversations. Conversations influence your nervous system and your immune system which influences how you heal. This is a missing piece in the world of health and healing. How we interact with others and the world via conversations changes physiology. You will learn a lot and enjoy this episode. Link to his book here His website link
