There was a time in America when we wouldn’t have had to be as emphatic about this point. In an earlier era, we used to do things socially—people were in bowling leagues, played music with each other, sat on their porches and talked. Ironically, in a world of social media, we’ve gotten considerably less social. The result has been an epidemic of existential angst and loneliness. The easiest way to solve that in your life is to actively seek out in-person connection and community after work. Go to the dog park. Play in a sports league. Create true family time.
