My interview with Howard J Ross discussing his book Our Search for Belonging: How Our Need to Connect Is Tearing Us Apart

We discuss why this is becoming more paramount in society and how it is affecting in negative ways todays culture. We then delve into what we can do about it. An interesting conversation and inspiring one. Why open-mindedness can lead to a more fulfilled life indivuallly and collectvityl. Guest Bio.
