A Case Of Missing Strangers
- In a decade-old novel written by neuroscientist David Eagleman, called A Circle Of Friends, a life without any strangers was envisioned, where only the people we know inhabit our world.
- There is a glaring void felt in life without strangers, the people we don’t know but still outline the periphery of our lives.
- An absence of strangers makes us understand their significance in our lives, as new research shows that engaging with and trusting people whom we don’t know has a significant effect on our wellbeing.
