Stoicism has had a remarkable comeback in recent years, with books such as The Art of Living a Good Life: https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195374614/

I disagree that there's no place for real human connection in a corporate environment... But I would argue many people don't know what that even looks like, don't understand the value of it, and can't avoid being utilitarian for the 15 minutes required to lay a foundation.

Well, it is not impossible but the environment is not conducive to real / authentic human interactions. Such as the ones you had with friends in childhood or have with your family at home.
