  Human beings are like most living things in this world.

• 00:02

  We were created to feel emotion.

• 00:04

  And whether we like it or not, whether it's good or bad,

• 00:07

  at least when you feel emotion, you feel alive.

• 00:10

  Our guest today, Corey Keys, is a renowned sociologist and psychologist,

• 00:15

  best known for his research on flourishing and languishing and his groundbreaking work explored in his book,

• 00:22

  how to Feel Alive Again in a World that Wears Us Down.

• 00:26

  When you're languishing, suddenly you stop doing and you rest and suddenly you don't feel anything.

• 00:34

  And when you feel this way,

• 00:36

  it's telling you you've left behind the good things that gave your life meaning.

• 00:43

  So this thing languishing, like I think I kind of get it.

• 00:46

  How do I know if I have it?

• 00:49

  You can feel it.

• 00:50

  When you've lost some of those things,

• 00:53

  you're starting to feel like what was a fullness to your life is empty.

• 00:59

  So I'd love to drop into that a little bit more.

• 01:01

  The risk of depression, anxiety, among other mental disorders,

• 01:05

  is so much higher among those who are languishing.

• 01:08

  And yet we're not taking it serious at all.

• 01:11

  We're not even measuring it in our public health system.
