About this listen

Welcome to "Rebuilding the Village," a podcast where we explore the paradox of modern unhappiness amid rapid technological and social advancements. Join host Michael Read as he delves into the roots of rising divorce rates, financial insecurity, societal discontent, and the surge in mental health issues.

By tracing these problems back to our ancestral village communities and examining today's fragmented urban existence, we aim to understand the biological and societal shifts behind these issues.

Through expert interviews, historical insights, and thoughtful discussions, we seek to uncover how we've lost our communal values and how we can rebuild our village.

New episode every Wednesday at 12pm EST.
