The science of connection

Modern loneliness epidemic

Despite our hyper-connected world, chronic loneliness has increased by 16% in the last decade. Studies show that social isolation is as harmful to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and can increase mortality risk by up to 32%.

⚠️
61% of adults report feeling lonely regularly despite being constantly "connected" through technology

Virtual communication lacks the neurological benefits of face-to-face interaction. Even video calls miss crucial neurological synchronization that happens during in-person exchanges, where mirror neurons facilitate deeper empathy and connection.

Your brain on connection

Meaningful social interaction activates multiple brain regions simultaneously, creating a neurochemical cocktail that's impossible to replicate through digital means alone. Regular face-to-face connection:

  • Increases oxytocin by up to 40% during face-to-face conversation, reducing anxiety and enhancing trust
  • Stimulates dopamine release in the reward pathways, reinforcing connection-seeking behavior
  • Activates mirror neurons that synchronize brain activity between people, increasing empathy and understanding
🧠
People in weekly group interactions show 28% higher activation in the prefrontal cortex regions responsible for emotional regulation and empathy

Brain synchronization effects

Recent neurological research reveals that when people engage in meaningful conversation, their brains literally synchronize, creating measurable patterns of neural activity that mirror each other:

  • Inter-brain synchronization - Neural activity patterns between participants become remarkably similar
  • Strengthened neural networks - Increased density of connections forming between key brain regions
  • Enhanced information processing - More efficient cognitive processing and emotional regulation
Remarkably, research shows that strangers engaging in structured activities demonstrate higher neural synchronization than long-time acquaintances, highlighting the power of new connections

The science of weekly rhythms

Research from behavioral science demonstrates that weekly intervals are the optimal rhythm for human habit formation and social cohesion:

  • Weekly intervals strike the perfect balance between spaced repetition and sufficient recovery time for neural consolidation
  • Groups of 6-12 people provide optimal diversity of perspectives while maintaining psychological safety
  • 45-minute sessions match typical adult attention spans and prevent cognitive overload

Groups with consistent weekly meetings showed 3.7x higher implementation rates compared to monthly gatherings and 2.2x better outcomes than daily check-ins

Our vision for society

We envision a society where people connect through meaningful conversations rather than shallow networking, where behavioral science principles are accessible to everyone, and where personal growth happens through community.

Monotomy is building a new kind of social infrastructure—one that creates human connections around personal growth rather than consumption or social status. By 2026, we aim to help 100,000 professionals implement evidence-based wellbeing practices that increase resilience, reduce burnout, and ultimately create more balanced workplaces.

Beyond YouTube, Instagram & ChatGPT

We're drowning in life-changing advice from YouTube, Instagram, podcasts, and AI prompts—yet our everyday habits barely change.

Knowledge trap

We mistake understanding for implementation, consuming endless advice without practical change.

Cycle of consumption

The more content we consume, the more we believe we're making progress—without actually changing behaviors.

Digital dopamine

Each new video or article gives us a hit of motivation that quickly fades without sustained practice.

Information is no longer valuable or unique. Willpower is a myth. Action is the only thing that changes reality.

"This works! Monotomy, thank you for supporting me in my journey to reduce my sugar intake. For the past couple of years it has been extremely difficult for me to find the strength to stop stress-eating sweet. On this program I felt like I was strongly supported and guided. I actually reduced my sugar intake by 3 times less!"

Hmmm... Interesting, but...

Each 45-minute session follows our structured framework: check-in, skill practice, group discussion, and commitment setting for the week ahead.

Groups consist of about 10 professionals from various backgrounds, matched by focus area and availability. Diversity of perspective is part of what makes this valuable.

Life happens. While consistency creates the best results, each session stands alone. Group recordings are available for members.

Yes, you can change your focus area each month.

Neither. This is structured peer practice. We provide a framework based on behavioral science, not therapy or professional advice.
