Summary

Why are we lonelier than ever despite having more autonomy than any generation before us? In this eye-opening episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with William Von Hippel, author of The Social Paradox, to explore the tension between autonomy and connection. They discuss why wealth and convenience don’t necessarily lead to happiness, how the shift to urban living has fractured our social ties, and why unstructured childhood play fosters lifelong friendships. Bill shares surprising insights about relationships, parenting hacks for fostering independence, and the unexpected downside of too much choice. If you've ever wondered why you can have everything and still feel like something’s missing, this conversation is for you. ** Get your copy of The Social Paradox here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
