In this episode, we look at why community is incredible valuable for your personal growth.  Try Blinkist: http://blinkist.com/tinyleaps Notable Quote "Across many studies of mammals, from the smallest rodents all the way to us humans, the data suggests that we are profoundly shaped by our social environment and that we suffer greatly when our social bonds are threatened or severed.  When this happens in childhood it can lead to long-term health and educational problems.  We may not like the fact that we are wired such that our well-being depends on our connections with others, but the facts are the facts." - Matthew Lieberman, Author of Social 3 Reasons Sense of purpose We want to be needed and relied on.

What is social distancing Social distancing is a set of nonpharmaceutical infection control actions intended to stop or slow down the spread of a contagious disease.
