[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

Americans have gone from "bowling alone" to not bowling at all. Very few people have hobbies now.

US workers get about 4 hours of "leisure time" a day. Most of that is spent watching TV/social media -- or, increasingly on "side hustles."

Why is this a problem?
-Hobbies make people happier and joyful
-Hobbies make people feel less lonely
-Hobbies make life more interesting
