Don't Be A Loner Nutjob - MTP470

Co-Host Peter Moore (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/petermoore) There is much talk about the so-called Pandemic of Loneliness going on nowadays in post-modern culture. My first-time guest Peter Moore is the former editor of Men's Health Magazine and currently a columnist, writer and illustrator. Once his kids became teenagers doing their own thing and having left the Magazine, one day Peter woke up and realized he didn't have any close friends anymore, and it sucked. So what did he do about it? Well, in a world where more men have fewer close friends than ever before, Peter knew he needed a strategy? What was it? And what is it we actually need from male friendships nowadays? What do men build friendships around nowadays? And what about combatting loneliness in The Digital Age? What should we do if we have fallen into the trap of replacing IRL relationships with social media and porn? And what about AI? We already know that's no real substitute for human interaction...right? Above and beyond social skills, what really bonds people together to form close friendships? What are the key differences between how men and women build relationships, and how can we make best use of those dynamics? What do you do if you don't drink, given so many guys go out and have a beer together? How can we get our of our comfort/familiarity zone if that's what's holding us back from meeting people? And hey...why is it that all nutjob serial killers and the like always tend to be "loners"? Remember, all of the full episodes are now available on VIDEO now as well.
