With is Love, After All, with Dan Rockwell
Welcome to intimate, one-on-one conversations with people from various walks of life, as we revisit one of the most iconic and fascinating ideas in history, an idea so strong it can change our world in crisis: Love.
Today, we listen to Dan Rockwell, Leadership Consultant and Author of the Leadership Freak blog.
The current pandemic has dramatically increased our anxiety, as we’re propelled into an unknown world, without a new narrative to guide us and add meaning to our lives. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S, affecting 40 million adults over the age of 18.
When our habits are disrupted, our jobs are disappearing, our relationships are tested, and our truths are questioned, we wonder, what remains? When everything has gone haywire and nothing makes sense anymore, what’s left is love. But, how do we define love after all is gone?
Love is more than a feeling that a person has for another person. It’s an intimate relationship between ourselves and the world.
So, when that world is breaking apart, what is love, after all?
