In this insightful and thought-provoking talk, the speaker reminds us of a primal truth: we are animals too. Drawing from the behavior of creatures in the wild, television experiments like Alone, and decades of scientific research, he exposes how our modern, indoor, isolated lifestyles are making us physically, mentally, and emotionally sick. From obesity and depression to loneliness and addiction, he makes a compelling case that community—not willpower or tools—is the cornerstone of human well-being. The antidote to modern suffering is not more hustle, but more connection. This talk is a call to return to the wisdom of our ancestors: live outside, live together, and remember—we were not designed to survive or thrive on our own.
