Deconstructing a Hug

You wouldn’t think a hug needed deconstructing, but it does.

Have you been hugged by another adult lately? Atrocious.

Something happened between when we hugged indiscriminately as children, and the half-hearted, one-armed, you-call-that-a-hug we give and get today.

Come on people! Wrap your arms around another person and squeeze. Hug like you mean it, already.

We’ll look at hugging etiquette, the elements of a proper hug, and just how profoundly we can change our interactions by perfecting this simple act.

Five minutes can change your perspective, Ignite has taught us that. Why can’t a hug?
