How to Feel Loved in a World That Feels Lonely with Sonja Lyubomirsky

About this episode

What does it actually take to feel loved, and why can someone be deeply loved without feeling it? Sonja Lyubomirsky, professor of psychology at UC Riverside and one of the world’s leading researchers on happiness, joins Guy Kawasaki to explore the science of love, connection, loneliness, and meaningful conversation. Drawing from her new book, How to Feel Loved, Sonja explains why genuine curiosity, deep listening, vulnerability, and warmth can transform our relationships. She also shares her five mindsets for feeling and giving love, her “sea-saw” metaphor for connection, and why technology doesn’t have to get in the way of intimacy. The takeaway is surprisingly simple: ask, listen, and share. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.
