So what happens when that job goes away? In this conversation, Anthony Silard shares what he\u2019s learned studying loneliness and relationships\u2014and why so many reach this stage of life without the connections they actually need. He introduces the \u201cfour PRs\u201d framework and how those roles shape identity for decades. The problem is, they leave very little room for friendships outside of work and family. Once that structure disappears, many men find themselves starting from scratch. You\u2019ll hear about: -The moment a retired executive tried to go back to the office\u2026 and couldn\u2019t get in -Why work relationships often don\u2019t carry over after retirement -The \u201cfour PRs\u201d that shape identity (and what they leave out) -Why men often rely on their partner as their entire social network -A striking stat on what happens to men vs. women after losing a spouse -Why some of the loneliest people are surrounded by others -What leaders do that builds real connection (and why it has nothing to do with confidence)   Resources Download Anthony's free books: theartoflivingfree.org\/freehappinessandfriendshipbooks Available on Amazon: Love and Suffering: Break the Emotional Chains that Prevent You from Experiencing Love ","author_name":"Chapter X with Michael Kay","author_url":"https:\/\/www.michaelfkay.com\/","html":"
