Have you ever questioned whether we truly need friends to be happy? Society tells us that friendships are essential, but what if less is more? In this episode, we explore social minimalism—the idea that fewer, more meaningful connections could lead to a happier life.

We’ll break down:✅ The psychological and philosophical perspectives on friendship✅ How digital interactions are reshaping social needs✅ The cost of maintaining friendships—time, energy, and emotional toll✅ Minimalist social strategies for deeper, stress-free connections

From Epicurus’ philosophy to Buddhist wisdom and modern psychology, we question whether a friend-free life is possible—and even beneficial. Is happiness about quality or quantity when it comes to friendships?
