Welcome to Resonance.

After five years of writing and thirty years of research, I'm beginning to share what has become a magnum opus on human connection: how we call in and build the right relationships in our lives, how we become instruments for the music that wants to live in the space between people.

In this episode, I explore:

• The concept of "the more" — the unique song that wants to live through each of us
• Why we need to tune our instruments in an age of noise and competing signals
• How to distinguish between resonance and dissonance in relationships
• The loneliness pandemic: why we're more disconnected than at any point in history, despite being more "connected" than ever
• Why the quality of our relationships is the single greatest predictor of our long-term health and happiness
• The roadmap to reconnection we desperately need

Key Quote: "We are so besieged by erroneous signals telling us that a Rolex or a nice car is success. But any billionaire in their 80s would give up everything they have to have what you have now: time. That's our true wealth. So the question becomes: how do you spend your precious time? And there's no more noble way than understanding who you are, the song you're meant to sing, and who you're meant to sing it with."
