Lost Touch? How to Rebuild Friendships and Strengthen Your Social Life | Adam Dorsay

Dr. Adam Dorsay joins us to explore what it truly means to connect in a digital age. From the four key types of connection—self, others, the world, and something greater—to rekindling friendships and embracing technology for deeper bonds, this episode is packed with insights on building a more fulfilling life. Plus, we (of course) discuss the power of music, social comparison, and why sometimes, all it takes to make someone's day is a simple phone call. ©2025 Behavioral Grooves Topics [0:00] Introduction to Dr. Adam Dorsay[5:41] Speed Round: Instruments, Languages, and Coffee[22:36] The Four Types of Connection[37:12] The Psychology of Savoring and Gratitude[45:24] Why Are Modern Friendships So Hard?[1:00:25] - The Driveway Test for Relationships[1:03:45] - The Power of Music and Live Experiences[1:12:00] - Key Takeaways on Connection and Joy[1:30:02] - Closing Thoughts  ©2025 Behavioral Grooves Links Learn more about Dr. Adam Dorsay Super Psyched by Adam Dorsay Super Psyched Podcast Join the Behavioral Grooves community Subscribe to Behavioral Grooves on YouTube Musical Links George Michael - Faith Sigur Rós - Sæglópur  Mumford & Sons - Lover of the Light
