"As prevalent as loneliness is, many people don't recognize that people that they know may very well ..." — Vivek Murthy

Without strong communities, we cannot pull together during times of hardship. Our diversity turns from a source of strength to a source of conflict.

I think of emotional well-being as a resource within each of us that allows us to do more and to perform better. That doesn't mean just the absence of mental illness. It's the presence of positive emotions that allows us to be resilient in the face of adversity.

The amount of sleep you get has an impact, not just on how you feel the next day, but it has an impact on your long-term health as well.

Loneliness is different than isolation and solitude. Loneliness is a subjective feeling where the connections we need are greater than the connections we have. In the gap, we experience loneliness. It's distinct from the objective state of isolation, which is determined by the number of people around you.
