The Myth of More is Better in Social Wealth
00:00:00.000 | The thing people get wrong is thinking that more is better with social wealth.
00:00:03.880 | The tendency is to say like, well, it's because money, like more is better is the mindset
00:00:07.520 | people have had.
00:00:08.520 | And everyone's wired differently around this.
00:00:11.060 | One person might feel lonely if they have only 100 friends.
00:00:15.080 | Another person might feel lonely as long if they have only have one friend, like what
00:00:19.320 | social wealth means to different people will be different because you have a natural level
00:00:23.760 | of introversion or extroversion, and you need to figure out what level of connection fills
00:00:27.820 | your cup.
00:00:28.820 | It doesn't matter if it's the same, I am more extroverted than my wife.
00:00:32.920 | My wife really just needs her like very close network of a few friends and family to feel
00:00:39.620 | extraordinarily socially wealthy, I need a bigger group of people like I need to feel
00:00:44.000 | like I can reach out to different people who have expertise on different things and problems
00:00:47.840 | that I'm facing.
00:00:48.840 | And that's what makes me feel good.
00:00:50.160 | But it's different for all of us.
00:00:51.640 | So figuring out your sort of natural set point or baseline, if you will, that you're kind
00:00:55.640 | of working towards is important.
