34 分钟You're listening to How to Be a Better Human.
I am your host, Chris Duffy.
This is an episode of our podcast that has had a direct and immediate impact on my life.
My family and I just moved and I was totally overwhelmed by the boxes and the unpacking and all of the logistics.
But because of today's guest, Casley Killam,
I sent out an email to a bunch of friends and I asked for help.
I was, frankly, very nervous about sending this email.
I was worried what people would think.
Was I being annoying?
Was it a rude task for help?
Were people going to stop liking me?
But instead, people were so kind and responded and helped us out.
And what's more, we had fun.
I mean, it was still overwhelming.
And I still think moving is extremely unpleasant.
It's not like that part changed.
But it was a lot less unpleasant than it could have been.
And that's because I got so much social support.
Today's guest, Casley Kilham,
has been studying the importance of social support and connection for years.
