Given the skyrocketing rates of loneliness, depression, anxiety and suicide since the release of the first iPhone in 2007 and Android phone a year later, we can say that our first attempt as human beings at creating healthy social relationships has largely failed.
I’m Dr. Anthony Silard, your host of ReSocial. Are you the type of person who values nothing more in your life than your close relationships? If you are, ReSocial was created for you. We bring in the top thought leaders in the world at the nexus of research and practice to help you rediscover, reflect on and renew the CMSRs – the Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships - in your life. Let’s get started so you can create the life you have imagined – a life filled with CMSRs.
Dr. Todd Kashdan – You Don’t Discover Your Purpose, You Cultivate It
For years, we've been told that purpose comes from finding your passion—that lightning-bolt moment when you know exactly what you're meant to do. But many of our listeners are still waiting for that clarity. They're navigating constant change, working in uncertain conditions, raising families in an unstable world, trying to build meaning when the ground keeps shifting. And they're wondering: Is purpose something you find, or is it something you build—moment by moment, choice by choice, through the relationships and work that matter to you?
Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.
Today I’m joined by author and psychologist Dr. Todd Kashdan. His recent work has fundamentally redefined what we mean by purpose in life. He's shown that purpose isn't about having all the answers. It's about how you engage with uncertainty itself. It's about direction over destination. And for people navigating a world that refuses to stay still, that changes everything.

Dr. Linda Babcock – The Invisible Gender Gap No One Talks About
Here's the difficult question: if you're already trapped, if your calendar is packed with non-promotable work and saying no feels impossible, what do you do? Waiting for your organization to change could take years. And in the meantime, your career is stalling. Your life doesn't look like you want it to. You're exhausted.
Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.
Today I’m joined by Dr. Linda Babcock, co-author of The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work. Her research reveals you have more agency than you think. It starts with one thing: seeing clearly what you're actually doing with your time. And then making conscious choices about what you want to keep, what you want to shed, and how to have that conversation with your supervisor. We’re going to talk about practical agency in a system that was designed to take it from you.

Carl Honore – To Improve Your Relationships as Quickly as Possible, Slow Down
We often talk about slowness as an idea. But for many of our listeners, it's not abstract at all. They're trying to slow down with their kids while schools demand constant achievement. They're trying to be present with aging parents while managing work. They're trying to care for their bodies when the culture treats health like another thing to optimize and rush through. Today we're going deeper into where slowness actually shows up—in the everyday moments that shape who we are and how we connect.
Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.
Today I'm joined by Carl Honoré, award-winning author and speaker, who spent his career as a journalist watching the world accelerate. But his real breakthrough came when he realized he was caught in the same trap. Carl's here to talk about what changed when he decided to stop, and what that shift revealed about how we connect with ourselves and each other.
