The Science of Loneliness and Isolation | Robin Joy Meyers | TEDxChelseaPark

The physical effects of loneliness and isolation are as real as thirst, hunger or pain. Although we are in an age of instant global connectivity, with our use of email, texting and smartphones, professional and social media, we’re actually feeling more alone than ever. In this vulnerable and inspiring talk Molecular Geneticist, Robin Joy Meyers, shares her own journey from isolation and hiding, to trusting who she is in the world and speaking out about what’s possible by using science. She reminds us that we are enough and that by relying on the science of neuroplasticity, we can change our habits and create the life we are meant to live. Robin Joy Meyers is an international speaker, fear strategist, author, radio host, and molecular geneticist. Robin Joy specializes in science-based strategies and techniques for self- awareness, mindset, leadership, balance/boundaries and the positive power of fear to empower women with tools to be put into action immediately. An expert in transitions, Robin Joy founded Navigate2Empower to educate and empower women through executive coaching, workshops, and speak- ing engagements. As a molecular geneticist, Robin discovered the TUB36 gene, a gene that affects the wing formation of fruit flies. She is also the host of the popular radio show, Activate Bold Choices, and is best-selling author of “Alone but Not Lonely” and “The Art of Unlearning: Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
