In this episode, we dive deep into the world of solitude with Dr. Thuy-Vy Nguyen, an expert researching the nuanced impacts of solitude on emotional and cognitive experiences. Discover how solitude, distinct from loneliness, can regulate emotions, potentially boost creativity, and influence our daily lives. From exploring the boundaries of solitude and social interactions to understanding its profound effects on personal well-being and performance, this conversation sheds light on why and how we can harness the power of being alone.
Dr. Thuy-vy T. Nguyen is the principal investigator of the Solitude Lab and a psychology professor at Durham University. Her research is focused on the impact of solitude on daily life, wellbeing, and mental/physical health, which is detailed in her recent book Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone (co-authored with Netta Weinstein and Heather Hansen). In addition to being invited to lecture about her research all over the world, her work has been featured on the Guardian, the New York Times, NPR, TEDx, and other podcasts and news outlets worldwide.
