During the current pandemic, almost all of us have become socially isolated. Even before the pandemic, loneliness had already become the suffering of our generation. According to a Cigna study released in January 2020 (before the pandemic), over three of every five Americans were lonely (as measured by the UCLA Loneliness Scale)—the highest level in recorded history.

Have you ever asked yourself these two questions: “Do I feel lonely sometimes?” and “Why?” As Dr. Anthony Silard has found in over a decade of research, we often feel lonely due to the stifling of three critical human motives.

In this cutting-edge course, Managing Loneliness: How to Develop Meaningful Relationships and Enduring Happiness, you will learn how to live by Spinoza’s wise advice: “Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.” Together, we will gain a better understanding of loneliness so we suffer less from it.

The Managing Loneliness: How to Develop Meaningful Relationships and Enduring Happiness course will have 6 modules. Each module will contain numerous videos to guide you on your journey toward social connection by Dr. Anthony Silard, PowerPoint slides for your future reference, readings and a module workbook for you to develop your own Vision Statement and Action Plan to help you develop the robust and meaningful relationships you desire in your life – beginning with your relationship with yourself.
