Homing

Loneliness, anxiety and a loss of belonging are among the defining crises of our time. Johann Hari believes they share a common cause.

Johann is the author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus – two of the most widely read books on mental health published in the last decade.

He argues that depression and anxiety are often misunderstood: not simply as biological problems, but as signals that our modern environment is failing to meet some of our deepest psychological needs.

In this episode of Homing, we discuss the human need for a tribe, how the attention crisis fractures our relationships, and the practical ways we can begin to rebuild connection.

It’s a conversation about one of the defining questions of our time: why do so many of us feel like we don't belong – and how can we find our way home?
