Scott Lynch
About this episode

From improving your mood to strengthening your relationships, spending time alone can offer surprising benefits—no remote cabin required. In this episode, I dive into the science of solitude and share how just 15 minutes a day can reset your mind, spark creativity, and even deepen your personal connections.
