In this episode we break down the growing conversation around the “male loneliness epidemic”:  what’s true, what’s misleading, and what the research actually says. This is a complex and controversial topic, but one that deserves a clear, evidence-based perspective.

• Why has loneliness been declared a global health crisis?

• How the global loneliness epidemic differs from the male loneliness epidemic 

• Are men actually the lonelier gender? 

• The role of patriarchy, the manosphere, scapegoating, and in-group/out-group psychology 

• The consequences  for both men and women

• Healthy, proactive approaches to tackling loneliness in society 

Plus, so much more! Drop your thoughts below.
