Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky: The Gap between Being Loved and Feeling Loved

from ReSocial · host Anthony Silard

Have you ever had someone in your life who clearly cared about you, and yet, for some reason you couldn’t put your finger on, you still didn’t feel loved? You weren’t making that up. It turns out there’s a real gap between being loved and feeling loved. Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I’m joined by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, one of the leading happiness researchers and author of How to Feel Loved. She's spent decades studying what actually moves the needle on human connection, and her latest research reveals something that changes everything: the gap between being loved and feeling it is something we can actually do something about.  Learn more about Sonja Lyubomirsky: https://sonjalyubomirsky.com/ Sonja’s new book How to Feel Loved: https://howtofeelloved.com/ ReSocial: ·       Subscribe on Youtube: https://bit.ly/ReSocialYT·       Anthony Silard’s Latest Book Love and Suffering: https://amzn.to/42kjCE3·       Anthony Silard Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/48Drq8e·       Two Free Books by Anthony Silard: https://bit.ly/3Rajkuw·       Managing Loneliness Video Course with Anthony Silard: https://theartoflivingfree.org/course-managing-loneliness/·       Connect with Anthony on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-silard-a305516/
