SP4 Special Edition Agile Brain: Lonely Hearts, Social Needs

We explore why inclusion, connection, and recognition are the social motives that make work and life feel meaningful, and how loneliness quietly harms health, teams, and trust. Stories from reality TV to school lunchrooms reveal why sincere care and specific praise beat trophies every time.

• inclusion as the base of belonging
• connection deepening care and trust
• sincere recognition versus programs
• grief as real social pain in the brain
• loneliness risks and health impacts
• layoffs, survivor guilt, and community
• social media comparison and FOMO
• caring leadership, burnout, and loyalty
• moving from self to service and purpose
