The Lost Tribe: Finding Connection in an Age of Loneliness

About the event

We humans are tribal, social creatures and yet millions of us are deeply lonely everyday. When we’re lonely, we often crave human contact, but our state of mind makes it more difficult to form connections with others.

We need meaningful connection to thrive but we now live in a world where many of us have become hyper-connected virtually, and disconnected from each other in the real world. In an era marked by digital distractions and social fragmentation, Dr. Sam Carr sheds light on the epidemic of loneliness and offers invaluable insights into fostering genuine human connection.

Drawing on extensive research he conducted for his book All the Lonely People, Sam explores the complexities of modern-day isolation and offers practical strategies for reconnecting with others and ourselves. Sparking a profound conversation about a universal emotion, which may simply be an inevitable part of life in an increasingly disjointed world, he questions what we can do to build stronger human relationships, and to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, Sam discovers that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.
