Obama's Surgeon General Reveals The Power Of Human Connection in a Lonely World | Vivek Murthy

[@anitainmo489]

I teared up when Dr Murthy paid tribute to his parents. Such a good, humble person. Thank you Dr Chatterjee for bringing us podcasts with such good, kind, knowledgeable people

[@missoguro1311]

Esther Perel lead me here and I am grateful. Dr Murthy is so soothing to listen to and you are so passionate about everything you talk about that I found myself tearing up multiple times through this episode. Thank you for being so authentic in your podcasts. Now I'm going to binge watch all these episodes.

Loved this conversation ... this is what world needs today .. so proud of these 2 young men from India ... God bless you both🙏🙏

[@alixevans5504]

My goodness, what a powerful conversation that was. I was there in the playground, I was there so wanting to be chosen, I was so lonely as a child. I am lucky to have a few close friends now but I know I still hide stuff, put on my mask. Thank you, Rangan, for arranging this conversation with such an awesome man and for sharing your vulnerability. It made me cry.

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Alix. And, my pleasure!

Thank you for being role models for a more compassionate world. I learned a lot from your interaction. I will do my best to pay it forward! Joan from Guelph Ontario Canada

Beautiful conversation between two genuine souls with a aim to helping people !!!! Thank you There's a meditative& soothing quality about DR Murthy when he talks

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

Completely agree. His voice is so calming and serene!

[@evolveyourhealth4481]

This really resonated with me on a deep level. By society's expectations I'm a relatively successful guy but I've never felt happy or fulfilled. Lockdown has given me solitude time to reflect and I feel like I've had some kind of awakening and now realise how I've been sacrificing and running away from love, connection with myself and others to pursue external things. Now in my 30s I realise I'm craving a simple life serving others and real human connection more than ever so I'm determined to live differently from now on

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

Wow. Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck for the future!

SO inspirational! as a physician of Indian origin, (and human) so much touched me deeply. You both give me courage and hope to continue to grow and follow my heart.

This was so beautiful that I have tears in my eyes. Thank you both! ❤ Now I have to hug my family, hold them close and put people first, always.

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

Absolutely - put people first, always!

This was fantastic. You're such a good listener. Myself and my wife usually listen to your podcasts before bed. Thank you for trying to make the world a better place. You've helped 2 people at least. Sending positive thoughts from Belfast

Finally prioritised listening to this. ..Love the raw and honest views here....esp. true about young men and boys. Great podcast!!! Thank you both. 🙏

Thanks for watching Neela!

[@Froglet1968]

What a poignant and honest interview. Thank you so much. I too was very shy as a child, I came from a very high achieving family, both parents have Aspergers (I've only realised this in the last 5 years) I've never felt "good enough" I live back with them. The ingredients I'd love in my life more than anything are love, connection, belonging and some close friends who I could share and talk to, plus meaningful purpose. I've never felt as lonely in my life as I have in the last year during this pandemic. It's a remote hamlet and I've pretty much been shielding due to my Dad having a compromised immune system. Touch and connection are basic and vital human needs. "As human beings we weren't designed to do everything by ourselves" A massive hello and strength to everyone out there. This is one of the best podcasts I've listened to in a long time. "Ability to give and receive love" I've cried a lot during this talk...tears of realisation that I've become quite distant from the authentic me, I feel distant from friends, just lost... Thank you.

[@CHPCHPCHP123]

Beautiful and heart warming and so positiv and empowering..... two truly remarkable men!!!! thank you!

[@christelnielandt5117]

Thank you so much. Got very much touched listening to this podcast. We all need to make time for our ‘true’ friends, show our vulnerability and be there for each other, in good and bad times’ 🌟🙏🌟

[@lindaelarde2692]

Amazing, profound conversation...so human and vulnerable. Loneliness is a real thing ..

[@Soarin8]

Glad I had the opportunity to tune into an amazing conversation.

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it

[@kateallert2613]

Dear Dr Chatterjee, I love your work so much. I think it's incredibly valuable on many levels. And that's why I'm writing a public comment. You've produced more than a hundred wonderful podcasts but only a fifth of them have a woman in them. I challenge you to redress that balance. Could you get it close to 50-50, in the 2020 podcasts, by the end of the year? I have lots of suggestions of inspiring women I'd love to hear you talking to, and I'm sure other subscribers have ideas too. Thank you very much.

[@TheAuntieMint]

Loved the book - everyone should read it, the good it would do us as a society is immense.

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

Completely agree. His book is wonderful!

[@pachamama8586]

Thank you both ever so much for this touching conversation! All of these thoughts of courage are so empowering. People are waking up and yes, we will have a more loving and peaceful world as a result! This virus is not our enemy it is our friend insofar as we all are being stopped in our tracks and given a unique opportunity at re-evaluating just about everything in our lives if we decide to look at it from that perspective. All the best to everyone!

[@EricMHowardII-yh1rn]

Thank you for a great discussion about loneliness that is essential to social support. The figurative heart is powerful. Which explains why Opening up our hearts is important because of connection. Love is powerful along with understanding and tender affection.

[@EricMHowardII-yh1rn]

Loneliness stirs up emotional anger , dialogue, depression , anxiety and eating.

[@viviannatellis9500]

Thank you so much for such an honest, profound and inspiring conversation. I feel a kinship with so much expressed + look forward to living a meaningful, loving, connected life.

[@diannesmithett8133]

Amazing and moving podcast, so enlightening. Thank you

[@jaynedavidson5779]

Only just got around to listening to this podcast. Calming and thought provoking words from this truly peaceful individual. Suggest you read Michael Sandels book...... The Tyranny of Merit ......the emphasis on the individual and the rise of meritocracy has far reaching implications for us all... .

[@mjmallari796]

Thank you so much. Amazing!❤
