ALT Three stills from Jan-Emmanuel De Neve’s appearance on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, featuring the quote: “If you are less social, you will have less social support. In times of need, you’ll have less people to call on. Left to our own devices, we underestimate the kindness of others.
