What I'm obsessed right now is with friends, friendship.

The thing that I'm fascinated by and working on.

If you look at most of the challenges that we're talking about these days, the epidemic of loneliness, rising rates of depression, anxiety, inability to cope with stress, in extreme cases, suicide.

And yet, if you ask people, are you a good friend?

And if you peel the onion just a little bit, you realize that we're all pretty.

Like, would you cancel on a friend for work or would you cancel on work for a friend?

Oh, but my friends will understand, right?

And you realize pretty quickly that we're not very good at communicating.

Like, if you're having trouble in your marriage, right, You.

If you have a fight, if there's a violation of trust, you try and talk it out, you work on it, you sit in the mud together, you get therapy, you try very hard to make the relationship survive.

If you have a huge fight with a friend where there's a violation of trust, we just abandon friends.

We don't do friend therapy to save a friendship.

And the reason I talk about this is, as adults, we're struggling with friendship.

How to make them, how to maintain them, how to look after them sometimes how to end them, how to.

We're not teaching our kids how to make friends.

When your kids have play dates, they all have phones.

Take all the phones away, put them in a bowl, call the parents and be like, well, the parents called you because you made the play date.

But say, listen, we're planning on taking the phones away.

A lot of schools, A lot of schools want to get rid of phones.

And so one of the things that I'm very afraid of, even while we're struggling, is we are not teaching our kids how to relate to each other, how to have fights with each other, how to resolve things, how to repair, and

Which means the epidemic that we're facing now of loneliness, stress, depression, and

suicide gets worse, and our children will be the.

The ones struggling even more than we are.
