Doing nothing has become something we just don't do anymore in our over-scheduled, always online world. But the simple act of hanging out with other people could be the solution to the epidemic of loneliness the world is facing says Sheila Liming. She's a professor of literature, media, and writing who says we need to put our phones down and re-learn out to just spend time with people with no set agenda or activity. Her book is called Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time.
