substance (behavior)-free, …the opposite of addiction is connection”
Symptoms of “Love Malnutrition”: See more threats everywhere Lack in whom to confide No/low sense of tribe
(collective identity) to which one belongs

condition Immune system more fit Socially more integrated Emotionally more resilient
Other benefits when experiencing social connection Accelerated learning Intensified pleasure and
negative reactions
