It’s Part 2 of how to fix your life with hobbies! Pretty much. Journalist/author of “The Connection Cure” Julia Hotz explains the science behind forest bathing, how privilege affects accessibility to hobbies and what to do about it, how to figure out what lights you up, how to schedule time for hobbies if you have no time to do hobbies, why I used to call my old job at newspaper Club Karoshi, what if social interaction gives you the willies, what if depression keeps you from doing the things that lift depression, being social without having to spend money or get wasted, why volunteering is such an antidepressant, why rehabs use social prescribing, if protesting is a good hobby, and why you should go take a walk. Also: did I go to the ukulele meeting or chicken out?

单集文稿 ...

  • Oh hey, it's still the guy at the falafel truck who gives you extra hummus, Allie Ward.

  • And here is part two of one of my favorite episodes we've ever done.

  • Here we are.

  • This is science-based advice on how to balance your work with your real life,

  • how to get your little sparkle back, even when the world is raining turds.

  • It's hobbies, pastimes, community.

  • And according to this guest, the author of the book, The Connection Cure,

  • it's the prescriptive power of movement, nature, art, service.

  • and belonging.

  • And I couldn't put that whole thing in the subtitle.

  • And if I just wrote social prescribing, you're like, I don't know what that is.

  • So that's why it's why humans need hobbies.

  • That's very much in a nutshell.

  • Anyway, to hear all the foundations,

  • including the etymology and the history of this field, so many examples and papers,

  • and why this guest doesn't like the title of her own book,

  • you just hop your beautiful butt back to part one.

  • Okay, start there.

  • Come meet us back here, part two.

  • So let's get to part two.
