Simon Sinek: "Strong Thigh Muscles = More friends", This Is Why You Can't Make Friends!

You wanna know why we're lonely? Cause we've architected our lives to be lonely. We are social animals. Of course it's hurting us. So the question is is What can you do? And this is the one thing that I learned that was the greatest lesson I ever learned in my life. The true skill that we've lost, and everybody's guilty of this.

Sim Cynic, the best-selling author, sold-after speaker, and unshakeable optimist, is back with one solution that aims to solve some of the biggest issues we face today. Everyone's looking for biohack for all the problems that we're facing today. Rising suicide, rising anxiety, depression, addiction, mental health. And there's one biohack that's better than all of the things that we're trying. Which is friendship. But we are not good at making friends and we're not good at looking after friends. There's an entire industry to help people become better leaders, to help us maintain better relationships. And there's no industry to teach us how to be a better friend. And yet, people with close friendships are healthier, they live longer, they better deal with stress, less likely to become addictive. Friendship is the thing that actually protects us. So why aren't we prioritizing our friendship? It's because we actually don't know how to do it. Mass transportation, technology, social media, all of these things, they've interrupted our ability to make friends. Or sometimes we have old friends where the only bond is time. But is it a friend simply because you've known somebody for a long time? They give you no joy, give you no inspiration, and if you have good friendship, you will not feel alone.

So yes, friends are allowed to change, and it's never too late to make a friend. So how do I make friends? I guarantee you You will make friends by learning how to be. That's all it takes. Uh Find him. Steven, good to see you again.
