In this Livestream, we talk about the power of social connections to help us live happier and healthier lives. Research shows us that having a strong social network can also help us live longer.
We should invest in the relationships we have, seek to build our social networks even more, and have the conversations that count.
You don't have to have a lot of close friends, or even best friends for that matter to reap the benefits of having strong social connections. Even having a handful of close friends can do wonders on our mental and physical wellbeing.
While we are huge proponents of face-to-face communication for the most high-resolution, quality social interaction, that is not always readily available to us. The next best thing would be video calls followed by a phone call.
