This discussion is a part of Humankind’s theme of the year, “Overcoming Loneliness: Togetherness, Connection, Community,” focused on understanding and combating loneliness.
“Loneliness is an important topic for us to understand, particularly in terms of its negative effects on our mental and physical health, and in terms of how we overcome it,” stated Moore.
