The lethality of loneliness: John Cacioppo at TEDxDesMoines

[unutterablyalone]

"[John Cacioppo and Louise Hawkley are focussing on] seminar[s]. . . in which students learn to read faces and interpret voices and also to stop making the assumption that lonely people seem prone to make, which is that every person they meet is judging or rebuffing them. What they're learning, says Hawkley, is the art of 'social cognition.' Her goal is to show people that they come at the world full of 'assumptions about human nature, about social mores, that aren't necessarily accurate.'"
