In this episode, I sit down with 19-year-old Norwegian actor Isak Macody Falck to unpack how culture shapes our relationship to happiness. We talk about the more reserved nature of Scandinavian social life, the pressure of Norway's infamous “party buses,” and why solitude feels more normalized—and even valued—across the region. Isak shares how acting, humor, and intentional alone time help him stay centered, while I reflect on hustle culture, FOMO, and the challenge of slowing down in New York. Together, we explore what the happiest countries get right about solitude and how different environments influence our emotional well-being.

On pense souvent que les plus grandes menaces pour notre santé viennent de ce que l'on consomme : la cigarette, l'alcool, la malbouffe. Mais il existe un autre poison, plus discret, plus insidieux : la solitude. Elle ne brûle pas les poumons, n'encrasse pas les artères, et pourtant, elle use le corps et le cerveau aussi sûrement qu'un paquet de cigarettes par jour.En 2023, une vaste étude publiée dans JAMA Network Open a analysé les données de centaines de milliers de personnes à travers le monde. Les chercheurs ont découvert que l'isolement social augmentait de 32 % le risque de mortalité prématurée, et la solitude ressentie, de 14 %. En clair : vivre seul et se sentir seul, même entouré, peut raccourcir la vie. Un constat que d'autres travaux confirment : selon une méta-analyse menée par Julianne Holt-Lunstad à l'université Brigham Young, les effets de la solitude sur la santé sont comparables à ceux du tabagisme.Pourquoi ? Parce que notre cerveau n'a pas été conçu pour vivre dans l'isolement. Pendant des millénaires, notre survie dépendait du groupe : la chaleur du feu, la veille commune, la chasse collective. Être seul, c'était être en danger. Aujourd'hui encore, notre corps réagit à la solitude comme à une menace : le rythme cardiaque s'accélère, le cortisol – l'hormone du stress – grimpe, le système immunitaire s'affaiblit. À long terme, cette inflammation silencieuse favorise les maladies cardiovasculaires, la dépression, et même certains cancers.Mais le danger ne se limite pas au corps. Les personnes isolées, souvent âgées, dorment moins bien, bougent moins, mangent plus mal. Elles consultent moins souvent les médecins, ont plus de mal à suivre un traitement. La solitude agit comme une spirale : plus on s'enfonce, plus il devient difficile d'en sortir.Et puisque Avast soutient cet épisode, je dois souligner que les effets néfastes de la solitude s'étendent à Internet. Bien que certaines personnes âgées soient familières avec Internet, les données du gouvernement français montrent que beaucoup d'entre elles manquent d'expérience en ligne et l'enquête menée par Avast révèle que les personnes âgées sont vulnérables aux escroqueries en ligne.C'est pourquoi Avast encourage à avoir ce qu'il appelle “La Discussion Cybersécurité” : un moment d'échange entre générations pour parler d'arnaques, de mots de passe, de vigilance numérique. Parce que protéger les plus âgés, c'est aussi recréer du lien, leur donner les outils et la confiance nécessaires pour naviguer sereinement dans ce monde numérique.La sécurité ne dépend donc pas seulement d'un logiciel, même si bien sûr je vous encourage à télécharger l'Antirus Gratuit d'Avast disponible depuis Google Play et l'App Store d'Apple ou en cliquant directement sur le lien suivant: https://www.avast.com/fr-fr/lp-free-av?full_trSrc=mmm_ava_tst_008_470_g&utm_source=codesource&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=mid-funnel_mmm_ava_tst_008_470_g&utm_content=mid_audio#mac La transmission et le partage de connaissance est aussi important : aider un parent à reconnaître un faux message ou un lien suspect, c'est déjà un geste d'amour.

Transcript:Ca: El vent fred xiulava entre les branques dels roures antics del bosc de Montjuïc, on Jordi caminava en silenci, esperant trobar la pau que tant anhelava.En: The cold wind whistled among the branches of the ancient oak trees in the Montjuïc forest, where Jordi walked in silence, hoping to find the peace he so longed for.Ca: Les fulles groguenques i marrons formaven una catifa sota els seus peus, però aquella tardor amagava una sorpresa: una tempesta de neu inesperada.En: The yellow and brown leaves formed a carpet under his feet, but that autumn hid a surprise: an unexpected snowstorm.Ca: Jordi coneixia cada racó d'aquella muntanya.En: Jordi knew every corner of that mountain.Ca: La boscositat del terreny era un refugi per al seu esperit inquiet, que sovint buscava escapar de la vida sorollosa de Barcelona.En: The woodland terrain was a refuge for his restless spirit, which often sought to escape the noisy life of Barcelona.Ca: No obstant això, aquella nit, la natura havia decidit desafiar la seva saviesa i confiança.En: However, that night, nature had decided to challenge his wisdom and confidence.Ca: El cel es va enfosquir ràpidament.En: The sky darkened quickly.Ca: Flocs de neu van començar a caure amb intensitat, cobrint el terra en un mantell blanc.En: Snowflakes began to fall heavily, covering the ground in a white blanket.Ca: Jordi, bocabadat, va adonar-se que havia subestimat la muntanya.En: Jordi, astonished, realized he had underestimated the mountain.Ca: La visibilitat va minvar, i el camí que tan bé coneixia es va esvair sota la nevada.En: Visibility diminished, and the path he knew so well vanished under the snowfall.Ca: Atrapant l'aire gèlid, Jordi va decidir que havia de trobar refugi abans que fos massa tard.En: Breathing in the icy air, Jordi decided he needed to find shelter before it was too late.Ca: Amb mans tremoloses, va recollir branques seques i va construir un petit refugi.En: With trembling hands, he gathered dry branches and built a small shelter.Ca: Després, amb les seves habilitats, va encendre un foc minúscul.En: Then, with his skills, he lit a tiny fire.Ca: Les flames van ballar amb la brisa, proporcionant-li una mica de calor i esperança.En: The flames danced with the breeze, providing him with a bit of warmth and hope.Ca: Tot i la situació, Jordi es va sentir sol com mai.En: Despite the situation, Jordi felt lonelier than ever.Ca: En aquell moment de quietud imposada, va reflexionar sobre la seva vida.En: In that moment of imposed stillness, he reflected on his life.Ca: Per què s'allunyava de les persones que estimava?En: Why did he distance himself from the people he loved?Ca: Per què buscava sempre solitud?En: Why was he always seeking solitude?Ca: Mentre les hores passaven lentament, va començar a comprendre que la seva felicitat també depenia dels altres.En: As the hours passed slowly, he began to understand that his happiness also depended on others.Ca: De sobte, un so trencador: veus llunyanes i lladrucs de gossos.En: Suddenly, a breaking sound: distant voices and barking dogs.Ca: Jordi, ple d'esperança renovada, es va aixecar amb dificultat i va cridar amb totes les seves forces.En: Jordi, filled with renewed hope, stood up with difficulty and shouted with all his might.Ca: —Aquí!En: "Here!Ca: Aquí!En: Here!"Ca: Les figures van aparèixer entre els arbres, amb llanternes a la mà.En: Figures appeared among the trees, flashlights in hand.Ca: Maria i Pere, ben equipats amb roba d'abrig, van córrer cap a ell.En: Maria and Pere, well-equipped with warm clothes, ran towards him.Ca: Eren part de l'equip de rescat que el buscava des que la tempesta s'havia intensificat.En: They were part of the rescue team that had been searching for him since the storm had intensified.Ca: —Jordi!En: "Jordi!"Ca: —va exclamar Maria, abraçant-lo amb força.En: exclaimed Maria, embracing him tightly.Ca: Pere va somriure amb alleujament.En: Pere smiled with relief.Ca: Amb el suport dels seus amics, Jordi va ser guiat fora del bosc.En: With the support of his friends, Jordi was guided out of the forest.Ca: Al costat del foc de campament, mentre bevia un cafè calent, va mirar Maria i Pere amb gratitud.En: By the campfire, while sipping hot coffee, he looked at Maria and Pere with gratitude.Ca: —He après una lliçó —va dir Jordi, sentint les paraules brollar amb sinceritat—.En: "I've learned a lesson," said Jordi, feeling the words flow sincerely.Ca: No vull estar més sol.En: "I don't want to be alone anymore.Ca: Necessito vosaltres.En: I need you.Ca: Necessito algú amb qui compartir la meva vida.En: I need someone to share my life with."Ca: Maria i Pere van assentir, contents de tenir el seu amic de retorn, tant físicament com emocionalment.En: Maria and Pere nodded, happy to have their friend back, both physically and emotionally.Ca: Els lligams que Jordi havia descuidat semblaven més forts que mai, i va prometre cuidar-los, conscient de que la vida compartida era més brillant i significativa.En: The bonds Jordi had neglected seemed stronger than ever, and he promised to nurture them, aware that a shared life was brighter and more meaningful.Ca: Aquella nit, el bosc de Montjuïc va tornar a la tranquil·litat, mentre Jordi deixava enrere la seva solitud.En: That night, the Montjuïc forest returned to tranquility, as Jordi left his solitude behind.Ca: Va saber que sempre hi ha una mà amiga esperant per oferir ajuda, encara que la neu caigui amb fúria.En: He knew there was always a helping hand ready to offer assistance, even when the snow falls furiously.

Loneliness seems to be part of what it means to be a relational being. Does that mean loneliness can never really be “solved”? Here's one way to think about loneliness: As a gap between relational expectation and social reality—something that signals our essentially relational, reciprocal nature as human beings.This episode is part 6 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this reflective conclusion to the series, Macie Bridge and Ryan McAnnally-Linz explore loneliness not as a pathology to solve but as a universal, creaturely experience that reveals our longing for relationship. Drawing on insights from conversations throughout the series, they consider how loneliness emerges in the gap between what we desire relationally and what we actually have, and why this gap might be intrinsic to being human. They discuss solitude as a vital space for discernment, self-understanding, and listening for God; how risk is inherent to relationships; why the church holds unique potential for embodied community; and how even small interactions with neighbors and strangers can meet real needs. Together they reflect on grief, social isolation, resentment, vulnerability, and the invitation to turn loneliness into attentiveness—to God, to ourselves, and to our neighbors, human and non-human alike.Episode Highlights“Loneliness is just baked into our creaturely lives.”“There really is no solution to loneliness—and also that's okay.”“We invite a certain level of risk because we invite another person closer to our own human limits.”“There's no blanket solution. We are all experiencing this thing, but we are all experiencing it differently.”“I realized I could be a gift to her, and she could be a gift to me, even in that small moment.”About Macie BridgeMacie Bridge is Operations Coordinator for the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. Macie is originally from the small town of Groton, Massachusetts, where she was raised in the United Church of Christ. As an undergraduate at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, Macie studied English literature, creative writing, and religious studies. She spent a year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with the Episcopal Service Corps after receiving her B.A. There, she served as Events & Communications Coordinator for L'Arche North Carolina—an emerging L'Arche community, and therefore an incredible “crash course” into the nonprofit world.About Ryan McAnnally-LinzRyan McAnnally-Linz is Associate Director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and a theologian focusing on flourishing, meaning, and the moral life. He is co-author of Public Faith in Action and The Home of God with Miroslav Volf, and Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most with Miroslav Volf and Matt Croasmun.Show NotesLoneliness as Creaturely ConditionLoneliness as “baked into our creaturely lives,” not a sign of brokenness or failureThe “gap between what we want and what we have” in relationshipsLoneliness as a universal human experience across ages and contextsSolitude and DiscernmentSolitude as a place to listen more clearly to God and oneselfTime alone clarifies intuition, vocation, and identity.Solitude shapes self-knowledge outside societal expectations.Community, Church, and EmbodimentChurches can be embodied spaces of connection yet still feel lonely.Hospitality requires more than “hi”; it requires digging deeper into personal encounter.Embodied church life resists technological comforts that reduce vulnerability.Grief, Risk, and VulnerabilityDistinguishing grief-loneliness from social-isolation lonelinessRelationships inherently involve risk, limits, and potential hurt.Opening oneself to others requires relinquishing entitlement.Everyday Encounters and Ecological AttentionSmall moments with neighbors (like taking a stranger's photo) can be meaningful.Loneliness can signal attention toward creaturely neighbors—birds, bugs, landscapes.Turning loneliness outward can widen our capacity for care.Production NotesThis podcast featured Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Are you rushing through December, mentally fast-forwarding to the festivities? In this powerful episode of Motivational Monday, Lucia Dramat returns to discuss the often overlooked value of solitude. Whether forced upon us through loss, transition, or chosen intentionally, these quiet periods in our lives offer profound opportunities for growth that busy seasons simply cannot provide. Lucia reveals how seasons of solitude break unhealthy codependency patterns and create space for emotional regulation, creativity, and deep personal healing. This isn't about isolation—it's about strategic withdrawal that prepares you for more authentic connection. Drawing from books, entrepreneurs' journeys, and personal experience, she offers a refreshing perspective on embracing the quiet moments before launching into all you can be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a podcast of a guest sermon, given by invitation to the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills. A guest sermon invited by the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills, Aug 9, 2015. In it, I discuss Rainer Maria Rilke's conception of "solitude" (Einsamkeit), and its relevance to our contemporary lives. Explaining how the two dimensions of slowing down temporally and making space spatially figure into the development of solitude as Rilke describes it, I suggest that in our own era, time has become the more scarce resource.

Certaines femmes font le choix de vivre seules et l'assument pleinement. Ce n'est pas toujours facile à comprendre dans une société où le couple, la famille ou la vie partagée sont souvent considérés comme des repères essentiels. Pourtant, pour ces femmes, la solitude n'est ni une souffrance ni un isolement, mais une manière de se retrouver, de se construire, de respirer. Elles refusent les injonctions à être en couple, à se conformer à une norme sociale, et revendiquent une autre façon de vivre leur liberté. Ce choix soulève des questions profondes sur leur rapport à l'amour, à l'indépendance et au regard des autres. Pourquoi la solitude féminine est-elle encore si mal perçue ? Est-ce un acte de résistance ou simplement une manière de se protéger ? Et que nous dit-elle de notre société et de ses attentes envers les femmes ? Avec : • Marie-France Hirigoyen, psychiatre, autrice de l'ouvrage Les nouvelles solitudes (Editions La Découverte) • Charlotte Debest, sociologue à l'Université Rennes II et autrice du livre Elles vont finir seules avec leurs chats (Les éditions La Meute).

Living alone may be difficult, but what about dying alone? Physicians and nurses are the new priests accompanying people as they face death. But the experience of nursing homes, assisted living, and palliative wards are often some of the loneliest spaces in human culture.“He said, ‘Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”This episode is part 5 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, Columbia physician and medical ethicist Lydia Dugdale joins Macie Bridge to reflect on loneliness, solitude, and what it means to die—and live—well. Drawing from her clinical work in New York City and the years of research and experience that went into her book The Lost Art of Dying, Dugdale exposes a crisis of unrepresented patients dying alone, the loss of communal care, and medicine's discomfort with mortality.She recalls the medieval Ars Moriendi tradition, where dying was intentionally communal, and explores how virtue and community sustain a good death. Together they discuss solitude as restorative rather than fearful, loneliness as a modern epidemic, and the sacred responsibility of seeing one another deeply. With stories from her patients and her own reflections on family, COVID isolation, and faith, Dugdale illuminates how medicine, mortality, and moral imagination converge on one truth: to die well, we must learn to live well … together.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom by Lydia S.

I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”“We are social creatures. Human beings are meant to be in relationship.”“Solitude, just like rest or Sabbath, is something all of us need.”About Lydia DugdaleLydia S.

In this episode, Samuel Goulet explores the foundational role of solitude and silence in prayer, emphasizing that true intimacy with God begins when we separate ourselves from distractions and embrace stillness.

He offers practical advice for scheduling solitude, highlighting how spiritual growth unfolds as we consistently seek God in the secret place, ultimately calling listeners to cultivate spiritual maturity by knowing God personally and pressing on even when it feels awkward or difficult.

Olivia Amitrano — founder of Organic Olivia and now recording artist OLIVIA — returns to explore the art of reinvention, inner child healing, and overcoming the fear of the unknown. Olivia opens up about shedding the identity that built her success, rediscovering creativity through play, and learning to trust herself again after a period of deep change. She shares how solo travel, sobriety, and stillness led her back to her truest self, and how embracing imperfection and presence opened the door to her next evolution as an artist. Together, we discuss the courage it takes to outgrow old versions of yourself, why creative play is medicine, and how being present — not perfect — is the ultimate definition of living Ever Forward.

Photography with Katie Orlinsky: National Geographic Photographer on Vanishing Caribou, Managing Solitude, Obsession, Endurance, and Working the Edge of the Arctic.National Geographic photographer Katie Orlinsky has spent the past decade documenting life in the Arctic, a place where climate, culture, and survival are all intertwined. Her latest exhibition, Vanishing Caribou, now showing at the Natural History Museum in Siena, Italy, captures the heartbreaking decline of Arctic caribou and the Indigenous communities whose lives depend on them.

From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation. They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life.

What is the role of solitude in Christian history? Medievalist Hetta Howes comments on the allure of enclosure, how seeking solitude supports community, and what these ancient lives reveal about our modern search for connection.“Even those moments of solitude that she's carving for herself are surprisingly sociable.”This episode is part 1 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.Medieval Anchoresses and Women Mystics sought a life of solitude with and for God—what about their vocation might illuminate our perspectives on loneliness, isolation, and solitude today?In this episode, Hetta Howes joins Macie Bridge to explore the extraordinary lives of medieval women mystics, including Julian of Norwich and Marjorie Kempee. Drawing from her book Poet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women, Howes illuminates how these women lived in literal and spiritual solitude—sometimes sealed in stone anchorages, sometimes carving sacred space in the midst of family and community. Together they consider the physical and spiritual demands of enclosure, the sociable windows of anchorages, and the simultaneous human longing for both solitude and companionship. Across the centuries, these women invite us to think anew about loneliness, vocation, and the need for community—even in devotion to God.Helpful Links and ResourcesPoet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women – Hetta HowesJulian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love (Penguin Classics)The Book of Margery Kempe (Oxford World's Classics)Episode Highlights“An anchorage is a small cell, usually joined to a church… and the idea was that you would never leave that place alive again.”“Sometimes you do come across these things and you're like, oh, maybe the cultural consciousness was so different that they had a different language for loneliness.”“Marjorie frames herself as a figure who is constantly looking for connection—sometimes finding it, but often being rejected in really painful ways.”“Even those moments of solitude that she's carving for herself are surprisingly sociable.”“What I've learned from them is the importance of community—that even solitary professions absolutely rely on other people.”About Hetta HowesHetta Howes is a Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern Literature at City St. George's, University of London. She specializes in the literature of the Middle Ages, with particular focus on medieval women writers, mysticism, and representations of gender and devotion. Her most recent book is Poet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women (2024).Show NotesSolitude and SanctityHowes introduces her research on medieval women mystics and writers (Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Christine de Pizan, Marie de France).Exploration of the anchoritic life—cells built into church walls where women lived sealed from the world.The paradox of solitude: enclosure for God that still required connection for survival.The Anchorite's WorldAnchorages included small windows—to the church, the street, and for food—balancing isolation with limited engagement.Guidebooks warned women against gossip and temptation, revealing anxiety about sociability and holiness.“Why have a window to the world if you're not ever going to converse with it?”Loneliness and BoredomLoneliness rarely appears in medieval texts; boredom and idleness were greater concerns.“Boredom comes up as a concept much more often than loneliness.”Modern readers project our loneliness onto them; their silence might reveal difference, not absence.Julian and MarjorieJulian's quiet solitude contrasts with Marjorie's noisy, emotional piety.Marjorie Kempe's “roarings” and unconventional piety challenged norms; she lived in the world but sought holiness.“I wish you were enclosed in a house of stone”—a critique of her refusal to conform.Solitude and CommunityEven in seclusion, anchorites served others—praying, advising, maintaining windows to the world.Julian's writings reveal care for all Christians; her solitude was intercessory, not selfish.Howes connects medieval community to our modern digital and emotional isolation.Modern ReflectionsHowes parallels her own experience of digital overload and motherhood with the medieval longing for quiet focus.“As amazing as the digital can be, it's eroding so much.”She cautions against idolizing solitude but affirms its value for clarity and grounding.Production NotesThis podcast featured Hetta HowesInterview by Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give
This week's episode features Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share this with one with you!! Pigeons is one of my favorite bands — I absolutely love their brand of rollicking, funky rock. Their jams are simply exquisite, and Ben drives this forward motion with his unique style on bass guitar. Pigeons' eighth album, Feed The Fire is out now, and they're headed out on their Fall tour — catch them while you can!Ben is super thoughtful and a gentle and kind soul, and he talks to me about growing up a shy kid in Baltimore — and we discuss how Ben's unique (some may say unorthodox) style of playing has shaped the Pigeons signature sound. Ben is quite literary and very well read and we go down that rabbit hole a bit… with his love of Physics mixed in just for fun.Ben also talks to me about mental health and some of the challenges he faces. He's super open with a striking and honest self-awareness that is utterly refreshing. This is an epic conversation with this talented artist, and I can't wait to share this one with you.=======================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:38 Introducing Ben Carrey07:17 Celebrating the New Album and Touring Experiences10:21 Collaboration with The Infamous Stringdusters13:15 Exploring Musical Influences and Techniques 16:08 Fretless Bass and Its Unique Qualities 19:10 Cultural Connections and Personal Reflections 22:11 Musical Relationships and Band Dynamics 25:03 The Science of Music and Connection 28:10 Growing Up and Family Ties 33:35 Nostalgia and Family Connections 35:39 The Power of Solitude and Self-Discovery 36:42 Literary Influences and Early Interests 39:38 The Fascination with Physics and Quantum Mechanics 43:49 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality 45:29 The Magic of Music and Sound 48:11 Musical Beginnings and the Journey to Bass 54:04 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Performance 55:46 Mental Health Challenges and the Music Industry 59:40 Finding Balance and Support in Music 01:04:03 Connecting with the Audience and Personal Growth 01:06:18 The Power of Connection and Community 01:08:36 Psychedelics and Mental Health 01:13:52 The Journey of Self-Discovery 01:17:31 The Significance of 'Hit the Ground Running' 01:20:27 Collaborative Evolution in Music 01:24:45 The Impact of Live Performances 01:27:51 Dome Fest and New Beginnings 01:31:32 Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Festivals=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email: info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music: "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

In this episode, host Paula Felps sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Robert Coplan to discuss his new book, The Joy of Solitude. Rob shares insights from decades of research on how intentional alone time can foster emotional clarity, creativity, and well-being — and how it differs profoundly from loneliness. From childhood development to adult relationships, he reveals why solitude is a vital part of a balanced life. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising benefits of spending just 15 minutes alone each day. Myths about loneliness and solitude, including why living alone doesn't mean being lonely. The science of “aloneliness” — the longing for solitude — and how it impacts mental health.
Hugo Paul, ingénieur de formation et auteur du livre Faire Tribu, fait partie de cette jeune génération qui ne se contente pas de constater les crises de notre époque — écologiques, sociales, relationnelles — mais qui choisit d'expérimenter des réponses concrètes. J'étais hyper content de rencontrer Hugo car le vivre ensemble, les communautés est un sujet qui me trotte depuis un moment dans la tête (vous le savez si vous m'écoutez régulièrement).Et Hugo, plutôt que d'attendre une solution extérieure, il a décidé de se mettre en marche, littéralement. Pendant un an, il est parti vivre dans différentes communautés à travers l'Europe — des monastères, des écoles alternatives, des peuples autochtones, des habitats partagés — pour comprendre en profondeur ce que signifie faire ensemble.Dans cet épisode, nous avons parlé d'un sujet fondamental pour moi : la communauté. J'ai toujours été convaincu que la famille nucléaire telle qu'on la connaît aujourd'hui est une aberration historique, une construction sociale très récente qui nous isole plus qu'elle ne nous relie. Et c'est précisément ce que Hugo est allé questionner sur le terrain : pourquoi avons-nous perdu cette capacité à vivre collectivement ? Et surtout, comment la réapprendre ?Hugo partage avec une clarté étonnante — et beaucoup de douceur — ce qu'il a découvert : que nous sommes faits pour le lien, que notre bonheur dépend de notre capacité à créer des relations authentiques, que la coopération est une compétence qu'il faut réapprendre. Il nous parle de la solitude, du care, des rites de passage qui structurent une vie, du rôle de la religion comme créateur de sens collectif, mais aussi des contradictions profondes qu'il a vécues — notamment celle d'écrire seul un livre sur le collectif.J'ai adoré sa capacité à parler avec humilité de son cheminement, à mettre des mots sur des intuitions que nous sommes nombreux à ressentir sans forcément réussir à les formuler. Nous avons aussi abordé des sujets plus intimes : la masculinité, le rapport à l'ego, le besoin d'être aimé pour ce que l'on est vraiment, pas seulement pour ce qu'on projette.Ce que j'ai trouvé particulièrement inspirant, c'est qu'Hugo ne donne pas de leçon. Il partage son vécu, ses apprentissages, ses doutes. Il n'est pas dans une posture de savoir, mais dans celle du chemin. Et c'est cette posture-là qui, à mon sens, fait toute la différence aujourd'hui. Il ne s'agit pas de trouver un modèle unique de communauté, mais de s'autoriser à expérimenter d'autres manières de vivre ensemble, à remettre du lien là où l'individualisme a tout fragmenté.Dans un monde en quête de repères, son témoignage est une bouffée d'oxygène. Et peut-être, une boussole précieuse pour nous aider à réinventer le vivre-ensemble.5 citations marquantes« Faire du lien, être en relation, c'est tout sauf de l'efficacité. C'est de la fécondité. »« On ne peut pas se connecter à l'autre si on n'est pas connecté à soi. »« L'homme n'est pas un loup pour l'homme. L'homme est un loup... pour sa meute. »« Toute grande chose s'est toujours faite à plusieurs. »« La solitude a le même impact sur la santé que fumer 15 cigarettes par jour. »10 questions structurées Qu'est-ce qui t'a amené à t'intéresser aux communautés ?Pourquoi as-tu décidé d'écrire un livre à partir de ton expérience ?Que t'ont appris tes engagements précédents en lien avec l'écologie ?Comment as-tu choisi les communautés dans lesquelles tu es allé ?Quel est selon toi le rôle de la religion dans la création de communauté ?Que signifie pour toi « passer de l'efficacité à la fécondité » ?Que penses-tu des contradictions dans notre parcours personnel ?En quoi les rites de passage sont-ils importants ?As-tu observé des doutes chez les moines que tu as côtoyés ?Comment travailles-tu ta relation à l'ego ?Timestamps clés 00:00 - Introduction de Grégory : Pourquoi vivre en communauté ?02:00 - Le parcours d'Hugo et ses engagements écologiques07:00 - La société individualiste et ses limites12:00 - La coopération comme clé du bonheur18:00 - Le rôle de la religion dans les communautés24:00 - Contradictions personnelles et cheminement29:00 - Les rites de passage : repères nécessaires34:00 - Masculinité, cercles d'hommes et transformation40:00 - L'ego et le besoin d'être aimé tel que l'on est47:00 - L'irénisme : ce qui nous rassemble50:00 - Les Samis, dernier peuple autochtone d'Europe Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #346 Retrouver du pouvoir dans le chaos avec Matthieu Dardaillon (https://audmns.com/yOgbycm) Vlan #28 Créer un mouvement communautaire mondial à partir d'un hashtag avec Youmna ChamCham (https://audmns.com/OZTndPj) Vlan #112 Que peut on apprendre des autres peuples avec Frédéric Lopez (https://audmns.com/CiVAXSb)Hébergé par Audiomeans.
