Bending the loneliness curve

Coworking isn’t the solution to our current loneliness epidemic.

But it can be part of the solution.

By providing people opportunities to connect and thrive on their own terms, we can bend the loneliness curve and create the social fabric we inherently crave and need.

From “How Loneliness Reshapes the Brain“:

“Loneliness is an evolved adaptation, similar to hunger, signaling that something has gone awry in our lives. Just as hunger motivates us to look for food, loneliness should drive us to seek out connection to others. For our ancestors on the African savanna, whose survival probably depended on having ties to a group, that social impulse might have been a matter of life or death.”

Finding a place of belonging is a matter of life or death for us human.

We need each other—and we need places of belonging.

Coworking isn’t the solution.

But it can be part of the solution.
